Most but not all of the antennas are located at the bottom on the back inside a carrier which is part of the back frame, but can be removed. That same back frame carrier also has another antenna which is on the left side when looking at the phone from the back. There is also another antenna located near the top and fed via coax cable.

Hi–have you or anyone out there noticed a heat issue when connected to the micro-USB port. My new Tour from Verizon gets quite hot when syncing or charging via the cable. I did buy a desktop stand which charges the phone via the two small metal plates on the back of the phone, and it’s fine then.
Only when connected via the USB port does this occur.
And, yes, I changed to a different, new battery in case that was the issue.
Any feedback appreciated! Just wondering whether I should raise a ruckus with Verizon or whether this is “normal.”
Thanks!
