In doing some net research on the ever changing cell phone and cell net card situation I found that Wilson, one of the very best manufacturers of cell phone amplifiers and antennas, now has a new all in one cell phone booster system, called the Sleek. It is a booster amp and allows an external antenna on your cell phone. It will work on most every cell phone out there, as well as the MiFi cell modem/wi-fi routers. The main disadvantage that I see is that it needs to be used with some external phone input/output system such as Bluetooth as the phone must stay in the Sleek system cradle.
Here is a review from 3Gstore.com which gives you some good information on it.

3G has them on sale now for $90.
I have no affiliation with either 3G or Wilson. I don't own this thing (yet) but it sure looks like it might be promising and allow me to get a new phone. I have been holding onto my old phone, as it has an external antenna input, but virtually no new phones have antenna inputs anymore. I live in a remote area where external antennas are very handy for cell service a lot of the time.
