No doubt if you hacked in an external antenna of the precise length you could boost your RX/TX. I've done this with FM band antennas to bring in a distant signal and exclude nearby on the band and closer-to-my -receiver stations. Being off even a millimeter or two made a difference at 105.7 MHz. At 1900 MHz, (much of AT&T) where the wave is even tighter, I assume ever more close tolerances will be required.

As we saw with the iPhone4 antenna design is not for the weak kneed. They eventually had to issue magical bumpers to their amazed and delighted customers.
