GM tnx 4 fast reply,

quality does mean imho not low loss ( e.g. if they would use RG-174) just that the manufactering process is of good quality.

I've searching a bit and found a Huawei the Q&A Huawei Technical Forum: Which is my HSDPA stick E160 or E169 or ... that

Q.: Which is my HSDPA stick E160 or E169 or E180 ?
A.: K3715 is not E160 ,E169 or E180.

which contradicts some listings made on in the web.

PS.:
While it's good to have an antenna connector inside, I wonder if any of the matching female connector have been designed, similar to that used in Notebooks for WLAN, for more then just a a few disconnects. If I made up my mind and found a Stick I will have to buy/built an adapter-cable (e.g. SMA on the other side) and fix it permanently to the stick.

At a question for external use I found this info

Specific Huawei aerial means a specific Huawei aerial only.
The connector is CRC9001-2401（SMK-3A）.

After I dismantled my K3715 (see Huawei K3715 - 3G modem wiki) I clarified several times on telefon-treff.de, that the K3715 has no equivalent in Huawei's existing product range. The K3715 shares it's chipset with the E230, so there might be some similarities.

Maybe we should move with this very hardware-specific discussion to an appropriate place. You could go to Huawei USB modems in general - 3G modem wiki and start a discussion (see bottom of page). You don't even need to register in order to post there!

Done, Information/question moved toMore details Huawei sticks and details on use of external antennas
More details Huawei sticks and details on use of external antennas 1 - 3G modem wiki

Bought a Tschibo since at my location I can only hope to get Edge coverage with an external antenna. However it may also prove usefull in the evening if the hotels charges >10 €/day This is the reason why I am trying to get the information to built if necessary external antennas.

PS.: Tschibo offers with the stick I bought today for 49.95 @ now only 3 free days flatrate.
