Default Cell phone amps/boosters?

Anyone with experience regarding cell phone signal boosters? They
range from the joke printed circuit stickers which are pasted to the
back of the set to expensive 3 watt units.

Any brands to avoid? Anyone other than the Holland Michigan guy ever
get brain cancer from one of these things?

It has to be a non direct connect unit, as the phone has no removable
antenna. Are there still 'bag phones' available? They were pretty
powerful if memory serves.

Any insights, or circuitry for a home brew unit would be appreciated.

Huh? Hey, clown 'tard Canuck, I've never had a cell phone, nor do I envision
myself ever getting one as I have no need for one.

But hey, feel free (if there is any such thing as freedom in CanaDuh) to amp
up the power and fry what is left of your brain.

You've been getting pretty cranky lately. Your pain problem acting up again?

As always, don't mix your pain meds with your booze...and AVOID
oxycontin like the plague -- it's deadly.

the thrift stores around here.

A woman driver with a cell phone is a deadly combination. Almost every
time I see a woman driving a car she's yakking away on the phone. I've
seen women run straight through red lights, oblivious to their
surroundings while using their cell phone. Recently I passed a black
woman in another lane who was yakking away on her "sail fone", phone
in one hand and the other hand was gesturing wildly .... she had NO
hands on the wheel and her car was drifting left and right. She was
yelling and screaming ... really chimping out. Scary stuff.

Around here, they all always have those Stupid cell phones glued to
their ears.They look like they are holding turds up to their ears.

I see a lot of that here. I just thought it was a tribal ritual or a
voodoo physical spell requiring physical movement to be done while
reciting an incantation into a cell phone, to work properly ... I think
it is some kind of "diet spell" because most of 'em doing it are 300+
pounders.
