said by kirkdj :also what external antenna do you consider the best? are their some outside antennas that I can run a cable for, maybe with a signal booster built-in?
You may not need any external antenna. Wait until you get the device and then see if it picks up a signal and allows you to connect to the internet.
If it does turn out that you need an external antenna then which one you need will depend on the signal that is available to you in your area. I suggest that you contact someone in this regard such as Max Signal or the 3G Store - they can advise you about what antenna might be appropriate.
