I really want to buy my self a new Sony Ericsson mobile phone,
but I can't seem to find the model which fits my requirements, it has to have
1. EDGE
2. An external antenna connection , so I can plug my external antenna directly into the phone.
can any one please recommend a Sony Ericsson model that has the above
requirements, I live many hours away from any phone shops, so I would like to see on line the phone before I make the trip to buy it
what do you mean by external antenna connection? a bunch of phones that have fm capability require the headphones to be plugged in as the antenna.

Hi, thanks for your reply, my current mobile phone ( Non EDGE ) has a small socket on the rear of the phone, where you can plug in an External antenna plug, so the cable from the out side external antenna has a coxial cable from it , which has a plug on the coxial cable end, that plugs directally
into the rear of the phone.
in any case, i doubt that any sony ericsson phones have tha ability to have the coxial cable to it, but you can mod your phone so that it is possible.
the closest thing would be what i mentioned earlier, headphones that work as an antenna to listen to fm radio. although, with the music capabilities of the phone, you might just get a decent sized memory stick then use that.

Actually, they do. I know the k550i does for sure.
If you have a RAZR nearby, does it have it? A little piece of rubber covers it, cortect?
K550i isn't too expensive, stylish, and meets all your requirements.
^ you're saying the k550i has an extending antenna? i'm almost 100% certain you're wrong. it does have the antenna connection, but that's for the radio function, which you need to plug in your headset - which ALL w and k series SE phones have.
