_________
One of the greatest pitfalls to bedevil a cell phone (http://reviews.cnet.com/Cell_phones/...0.html?tag=txt) is a weak signal in your home or office. Not only is it a pain to have dropped calls when you're trading the dish with your best friend, but it also pretty much negates the point of having a mobile phone if you can only make calls near your front window. But in the past couple of years, a variety of companies have identified the need for a real cell phone signal-booster. Unlike the foil decals you see in SkyMall, signal boosters like the Wi-Ex zBoost YX500 cell phone signal extender actually improve your cell phone's reception by significant levels. And, unlike the previous two products we've reviewed, Wilson Electronics SignalBoost (http://reviews.cnet.com/cell-phones/...9.html?tag=txt) and the Arc Freedom Antenna (http://reviews.cnet.com/cell-phone-a....html?tag=txt), the zBoost uses a wireless connection to your phone. On the whole, it's one of our top choices for a cell phone signal booster, though it is expensive at $399. Just make sure it works with your phone before you commit.
