Apple has identified Apple Stores with poor Verizon reception and is installing small scale antennas to improve reception, according to documents obtained by TiPb.

Apple has entered into an agreement with Verizon to be an additional carrier for iPhones. We're very excited about this, and want the rollout to go as smoothly as possible. In that regard, we have identified the stores on the attached list as requiring installation of small-scale equipment to improve in-store cell reception. Apple and Verizon need to conduct a survey to determine where to place an exterior antenna (about 1 foot long, 5 inches wide and less than on inch thick) and the best route for running cable from the antenna to our store.

Ridiculous. Just trying to fool people into believing they have better reception in certain areas than they really do. And Verizon just cut its service trial time to 14 days. Coincidence? I think not!

Interesting. I wonder who is the manufacturer and if one of these will improve home reception, especially for the traditional GSM iPhone?

You can get your own AT&T device that does that for your home. I have a buddy that has one and it works very well.

this is is a microcell, think. (I'm really tired and suddenly distracted by the random advertisement next to my comment box that is apparently marketing mormon.org - Mormon.org??!! really?) anyhow... if you have horrible signal on ATT and complain enough, I believe they will send you one of these lil bad boys.
