Tangent: U.FL connectors. Gawd, they suck. I was pleasantly surprised to see U.FL removal tool in the write up. The female connectors have at best 10 mating cycles in my experience. By using the such removal tool you may get dunno 20 if you are super careful. I killed GSM and GPS antennas with single or second try detaching.

From wikipedia article of Hirose U.FL:

Female U.FL connectors are not designed with reconnection in mind, and they are only rated for a few reconnects (approximately 30 mating cycles[5]) before replacement is needed.
