I was talking to a super at Verizon yesterday about the cell phone extender they are selling for 249. It works off your iternet service and give you a coverage of around 5000 sq ft.
She said they would be comming out with lots of new berries this year. The first will not have Wi-Fi but later this year rim will have a Wi-Fi unit for Verizon.
I have had my 8830 for about a year and a half now. I would like a shinney new toy, but have to admit I am leary. The 8830 just works. No problems. Except for reception in my house. Still it has better reception than any phone I have ever owned.
The tech said to point my Yagi Antenna toward their tower in Franklin, NC. Thats when I have problems with calls and all else. There is a repeater antenna of some kind in the other direction, but closer that gives me much better coverage. Anyway just my 2 cents.
