Default Antenna Cap Connector

Does anyone know what the cap connectors that connect the radio and wifi antenna to the board are called? I was taking apart my Storm 9550 yesterday and I forgot to take the microSD card out and I pulled the wires right out of the connectors. I've been desperately trying to fix my error and have had no such luck.

Here are some pictures of what I'm talking about:

And this is the closest that I have found for replacement parts:

Thanks to Branta, I pinpointed the actual make and model of the micro coaxial connector to be a Hirose N.FL connector. The connection should be a mated height of 1.5mm. I took the different measurements for the connector with a caliber and they match up the Hirose N.FL 1.5mm model (in the specification tab) on Wellshow.com

Now all I have to do is contact the company to discuss cost. Hopefully bulk is not all that they sell, but that will have to be seen. Hopefully if anyone else has this similar problem, then this will help.
