    Friends, I have one VGN-TZ190N/B and it says that have Sprint Broadband WWAN, but where is the antenna? How the reception is made? On the TX they have a mini rubber external antenna

    They finally did away with the external antenna, and designed it inside the case. Thank god. I was tired of sending replacement ones to customers who broke theirs off.

    Hopefully they will do away with the external antenna on the SZ one of these days.

    I figure the SZ600 series is probably the last version of the SZ design. It's been going for over a year now (almost 2) and so I'd bet they've got something up their sleeves when the new Intel chips start shipping. So probably if the SZ replacement does have WWAN it'll be external antenna-less.
