1. An electronic device comprising:
peripheral conductive housing structures having first and second segments separated by a first dielectric-filled gap and having a third segment separated from the second segment by a second dielectric-filled gap;
an antenna ground separated from the first, second, and third segments by a slot;
a data connector that extends through an opening in the second segment;
a first positive antenna feed terminal coupled to the first segment by a first switch, wherein the first switch switchably couples the first positive antenna terminal to a first point on the first segment;
a second positive antenna feed terminal coupled to the third segment by a second switch; and
a first conductive trace that at least partially overlaps the slot and that couples the first positive antenna feed terminal to a second point on the first segment, the second point being interposed on the first segment between the first point and the first dielectric-filled gap.
