i kno you have 2 take the phone apart to take off the antenna, but daydeal.con has flashing antennas, will it go on? if not im returning the phone for a vx5200 becouse i dont really need all the features on this phone. i dont really want the flashing part, i want the little metal thing that screws into the phone, i did this with my old vx7000(R.I.P)and i got great service and there was no antenna to worry about, i would like to do this on this one. thank you for any help.

The antenna is actually part of the internals of the phone....which means you can't remove it short of breaking the phone. Also doing something like that means your warranty is void. So...while you may end up with a flashing antenna, good luck if you have any other problems down the road. Ex.. earpiece or microphone stop working, screen goes blank, battery stops holding a charge, etc. Because when you take it into a store to get it fixed, they'll say because of the antenna there's nothing they can do, unless you have insurance. Then you'll have to call the insurance company.

Not trying to get on you or anything, but trying to put another antenna in this phone is a bad idea. To each his own, but I wouldn't recommend it.

How do you expect to return the thing with the warranty voided? You changed the faceplate, unless you get an ignorant person in store you are stuck with this anyways.
