I’m pretty lucky in terms of EV-DO and cellular coverage throughout the region where I work and live. Still, there are times when I’m in a building and the signal just can’t get to me. Chris Leckness shows a YouTube video of the Freedom Blade Cellular Antenna booster and I was extremely impressed at the signal gain it offered him. Sitting in the middle of a brick building, he shows that he had “No Signal” for his HSDPA card on AT&T’s service. A few seconds after he attached the Freedom Blade: four bars out of five as shown from my screen cap.For around $50, this could be a must-have for folks that use cell phones for data or voice in a location where their signal gets blocked. It looks light and small enough to carry around all of the time and includes a handy little base so you stand the unit up. Sweet!
