latest news, as first hand as it possibly gets: PLS8-E/US are and will "ever" be 2.20mm height. PLS8-X is 2.95mm height (due to bd13) - but we don't want that module anyway :-) Though the document http://m2m.gemalto.com/tl_files/cint...rvices_web.pdf has some minor glitch (2.3mm height) it's still very useful. See p.16 cheers jOERG
