 http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/cellphones/sams...ypes-247538.php can't seem to find too many recent articles, but read about it in my popular science. basically it's a mini cell tower that connects to your broadband connection. one of the google searches I did had an article saying Sprint will be offering these sometime this summer. pretty awesome though. what would make it extra super awesome is if they'd finish the job and let you connect it to some kinda router and use VoIP phones in your home with your cell service contract. |

I'm actually pretty sure Sprint's new service plan with Comcast will allow you to do that through their home phone service (you can get a cell phone through comcast now).
