Titan's Back Cover

[stoogefandave]

Does anyone know the purpose of the connectors on the inside of the Titan's back cover? I noticed, in the first impressions video http://www.windowscentral.com/htc-titan-1st-impressions-video, that there are three pairs of connectors inside the cover. Does this phone support NFC or are these just the WiFi/Bluetooth antennas?

I currently have a Palm Pre (looking to upgrade to WP the Titan) and it uses a pair of connectors on the back for the inductive charging. That would be a nice feature on the Titan!

It looks to me that the back cover is essentially one big antenna and what you see are the contacts.

I have wondered the same thing since I saw the first review video. Thought they could be some sort of connectors for accessories possibly, but was not sure what could utilize the tiny holes in the case.

Another question I have for people who have had a titan since launch is how durable is the back against scuffs and scratches? My 3g iphone almost looks like I sandpapered the back now.

I've only had my Titan for 1 week, but no scratches so far. It feels pretty durable, given that it's aluminum, but I make no promises.

Oh, I thought it had a rubberized coating. Well good to know its durable.

The bottom bit (where it says Windows Phone) is rubberized. The rest is aluminum.
