I have a corporate Crackberry and the hills and valleys in New England tend to make an extended conversation unpredictable and would probably invest in a similar setup as you’ve shown if the result is worth it.

P.S. Much to others chagrin, holes in vehicles is nothing new to me either.

It is a
Wilson 801210. It actually works surprisingly well. Cell coverage in Northern Ontario is poor at best - this thing helps smooth out the fringes between towers. Worst case it will simulate the signal you get if you were to stop the car and get out. When we were camping at Lake Superior area this summer there was only analog available so my smart phone was dead. My wife's little tri-band Nokia was fringing between zero and one bar but when she got to the amp she jumped up to four bars and made her calls. Downside? You have to keep your phone
right next to the internal antenna - headset or BlueTooth required.
