Does anybody know where the antenna is placed on the SE V800 - on the display part or the keyboard part, and on the top or the bottom when opened? Are there several antennas for the 4 bands or just 1? And are there directional antennas, presumably directed away from the user or just plain vanilla "send everywhere" antennas?

Thanks for any insights!

Update: Asked customer service, and they weren't absolutely sure either but believed that the antenna is in the lower part (with the keyboard), because the plastic antenna knob is there. Not really efficient if you ask me, but there you go.

If I am not mistaken the antenna is actually at the front of the phone, just underneath the Big Vodafone logo... This is what I saw when I opened it up.

So you're saying that it's in the upper/display part, right below the ringtone speaker? Because I've got a non-branded phone with no Vodafone logo.

Thanks Yeah, well only the case is unbranded, I've still got a Voda sign in the standbye screen etc. Good thing that I was able to link it to something else

Thanks + Cheers!
