Has anyone found a decent cell phone antennae that actually makes a difference in reception? We can use this topic to tell anyone which antennas work/don't work on which phones.

I bought an extendable antenna from DayDeal.com, and actually get about 1 to 1 1/2 more bars of reception. I live in an area that has POOR service, and every little bit helps!

Thanks, I will look into that. Hopefully since your phone is pretty much the cingular equiv of mine, it will work just as well...

Got my antenna today and it works great... better than the oem stubby one. I typically have one more bar than normal and of course, less dropped calls. Highly recpmmended.

This is the one for my v551. Worked great for me as I tested it out at the same position on each antenna. I even marked the resting spot. You can get longer ones if you want but I did not want that to be stick out too longer. The sample photo will show you the pulled-out antenna image.
