Analog Roaming Question

All OnStar equipped cars prior to 2002 are analog only, and cannot be
upgraded; their service will be discontinued in 2008. SOME 2002-2004
models are upgradeable. 2005 and beyond I believe are fully CDMA.

Which bring up which phone. I have a very particular place in mind,
which with my Cingular TDMA phone (Nokia 6360) requires an external
antenna or the signal is unusable. Since nobody seems to list which
phones have antenna ports, I looked at internet stores that sell
antenna adapters.

The most recent phone I found was the LG MM 535. This phone
unfortunately does not have Bluetooth.

Does a Sprint CDMA/Amps phone with external antenna port and bluetooth
exist? Or should I just be happy that I can get analog service at all.

PhoneScoop lists 4 Sprint phones as CDMA/AMPS with bluetooth:

LG LX-150

Nokia 6165i

Samsung SPH-A640

Sanyo Katana / SCP-6600

No listings in the features for external antenna port. Prolly have to delve
into the User Manuals to sniff that out.

I went to Wilson Electronics web site, and went through the phone
antenna adapters. I found an LG LX 350.

Bluetooth, CDMA AMPS listed on phonescoop, only offered by Sprint.
