The Palm Treo 680 device is the first Treo to have an internal antenna. Previous versions have a thick, stubby antenna appendage at the top of the device. The antenna of the Palm Treo 680 helps it locate signals as well as send and receive data. If you suspect that your antenna is faulty, replace it with a Palm Treo 680 compatible antenna. Replacing the antenna does not require any technical skills.
