What is a cell phone party? LOL. Good to see someone else is going to have a crappy day at work tomorrow due to staying up too late.. ;)

Honestly, I just replaced my SLVR with a Nokia 6682 and I went from no service or 1 bar to 4 bars solid and up. It's that much of a difference. The SLVR wasn't even bad, the 6682 is just that good.

That's the only advice I have, if you use GSM, try the 6682. If you use CDMA, try the Motorola V710 or the E815 if you want EV-DO and don't use AMPS.

Short of that, Wilson makes external antennas for most phones, but that is a pain, why plug in if you have a cell phone? Not so portable after that.. :)

There are actually signal boosters out there - wireless ones at that. I see them advertised on Phonescoop a lot, but can't remember the name.. :(
