What are the advantages of having either an external or an internal antenna in a cell phone? Doesn't external get a stronger signal? Internal antennas are more attractive and can't break-off. What other differences are there? Could a Walkie-Talkie cell phone be built without an external antenna? Thanks.

This has been well-covered in an old thread. Try doing a search next time.

Which is better: Phones with Internal or External Antenna?

Most people now agree that internal and external antennae are about the same. The extension on an external antenna doesn't necessarily improve your reception; it's designed to channel the radiation away from your head!
