Sorry, but exactly WHAT is a couple of millimeters wider? The bezel/frame around the LCD screen? Could you post the different measurements please? There is a shop nearby which happens to have a couple of t-23's (and t-30's) some of which I noticed are supposed to have built in wireless. But if there is a chance that I can find one *with* the aerial *and* there is a card which I can swop in, one of those may be just the right nice thing for my wife's birthday.. (to give to myself, of course, then I'll give her 600E!). Geoff R.
