I've lost my antenna 4 times now. Keep ordering new ones on the web
(Cingular wants $35.00, cellphoneshop.com gets 50 cents). I just
ordered a bunch of antennas, 5 "original", 5 stubby, 5 extendable, 1
remote. They took over a week to ship from Hong Kong. Only the OEM
looking onces fit. The others obviously had smaller stems. The remove
was the same as one I had for my Nokia. Didn't work at all.

I'm looking for a good source where I can put in a supply of these
guys.

Thanks,
John

Would an extentable offer better reception?

they go for 93 cents on ebay, ~$8.50 for shipping, chrome. It is supposed to
increase the reception as well...

OK, it's been 3 weeks since I received these things that didn't work.
For your reference, I sent customersupport@cellphoneshop.com four,
countem four emails about this incorrect shipment. Still no reply. I
tracked down a phone number for them and got only a recording. Looks
like I'm screwed.

If any of you folks need anything for your phone, I'd avoid
cellphoneshop.com like the plaque.

BTW, I'm still looking for a good source for these. I still need some
standbys.

Thanks,
John
