Hi,

I've just been given a signal booster, you know those little stiker things that are ment to be like having a 4 foot arial on your phone, avalible on ebay. Don't know if they work or not.

But any way. On the instructions it says to stick it in line with the internal arial. Where abouts would this be on the K700?

I think you can put it behind the battery.

I used to have one and i can tell you that they are useless.

I've got one (which I got for free with something) on the back of my battery cover (not really enough room behind batt - you end up obscuring the imei sticker) of my K700. It probably makes a very minimal amount of difference, if any.

Try it if you want, you've nothing to lose but they make little impact on the phone's signal I'm afraid!

Yeah your right, if I'd paid for it I'd be a bit p****d off now. It does nothing for the signal. 'o' well it's not that bad here, just in some clubs it won't get a signal. I'll have to live with it.

the k700s signal is great... greater than the t68i... so you dont need that booster... if in a club and your looking for a signal, stay away from the speakers....
