Wow. Perfect then. You might have to find the alternative back but that should be possible. My coworker says, "burn a little hole in the back you have with a hot soldering iron". He likes those straightforward hardware mods. I'd be looking for a different back myself. :-)<br>

I found a description of disassembling the 1973 that describes where the GSM antenna connector is. They actually mention an alternative case that provides access to it.<br>

Here's the picture of the component side<br>

looking at the lower right corner, you can see a hole through the board with the ground plane copper around it. At 11 o'clock is a connector with a white square base facing away from the board. Thats it. Looking at the FreeRunner board the connector is in the same place.<br>
