Re: How's My Signal? Would an antenna improve speeds?
I would wait until you get the card first. Improving on -68 will gain you very little if anything at all in speed. An antenna may help reduce packet errors and/or noise (and thus speed) - but you won't know that until you try the card.
..and if you typed all that on a Touch Pro, I tip my hat to ya ...

| Heh, I could've...I can write novels on those keyboards, as opposed to the vertical-style ones (despite my love for all things Palm). Actually, this post and the one before are via WMWiFiRouter. Best piece of software ever 
Looking at -69 now (5.5 foot position, not my desk). Connection is a bit more jittery this morning, but I'm guessing that's because people are using the network. Here's what I get form VoIPReview:

Cobbs Creek, VA | I've always gotten better speeds with my EVDO modem vs my Mogul, even though both are RevA - and that is with a antenna plugged into both.

Golden, CO | Makes sense. $150 is a lot of money but I'll porbably pick up the Virgin Mobile modem as soon as it drops. Hopefully it'll get me 1.5/512 here. Just wish there weren't those pesky caps. |

| Swapping the method of connection between the modem and the cell phone from time to time ought to deal with the caps - particularly since you're using WMWifiRouter.
