JiWire's quick take

Likes
Boosts feeble cell signals to five bars in the house, dramatically improves voice quality and data throughput, doesn't interfere with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or cordless phones.

Dislikes
Only works with 1900MHz PCS band, wall mount and cable can be hard to locate, pricey.

Good for
Cell phone users frustrated with poor coverage in their home or office who use the 1900MHz PCS band. (Check the Spotwave site for supported carriers in your zip code.)

Bad for
Those who can't get a signal at home at all (you must have at least one or two bars in some part of your house for it to work), and those with non-1900MHz PCS service plans.
