(it's GPS-bound, so tied to a window - currently in M.'s office since his phone has a weaker antenna than mine.)<br /><br />overall, i wouldn't get it again. but considering that it does seem to improve coverage in his office, it wasn't worth the hassle involved to try to get sprint to give us a refund for it...<br /><br />the one <b>major</b> annoyance is that it doesn't carry data signal (sprint is on CDMA, so data and voice are separate and mutually exclusive). which means occasionally i'll be performing some data-related action, drive into the garage, and watch my phone associate to the femtocell and kill my data connection. arrrrgh.<br /><br />- lisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
