Vodafone 3G 'Broadband' antenna

I have just got myself one of Vodafone's new 3G Broadband HSDPA cards, and I
have to say it provides a pretty impressive service.

I'm based in South West Surrey and I seem to reliably get ~150 KB/sec, which
is faster than I can get on my home ADSL connection since that's limited to
1MB due to line length!

The card I have is a Vodafone branded Huawei E620. The card has a connector
for an add-on antenna, but I can't seem to find details on the antennas
anywhere. I picked up a so called 3G antenna from Vodafone, but it didn't
fit - it was for the old/standard 3G cards which are different, and have
different connectors.

Anyone got any ideas?

I've looked at Huawei's web site and that isn't much help. It mentions the
fact that the card has the connector for an antenna, but there's no mention
of the antennas themselves or what type of connector it may be.

TIA

Rupert
