Wow, odd. I was about to buy a http://www.cellantenna.com/repeater/cae50.htm for the basement I work in.

That one looks nice too. Is that your pick after researching a fair amount?
The back 2/3 of my house is the Bermuda Triangle, yet the front 1/3 gets strong coverage. I'm hoping I can mount an exterior antenna front side and use a repeater to cover the back side (where both my office and bedroom are at, and I really need cell coverage).

Man I wish these weren't so expensive. I'd like to have stronger cell signal in my house.

I saw some lower power ones in the ~$200 range, if you don't need to cover too large an area.

Can you provide links to the others you looked at? We're trying to find one from someone we can purchase from easily.

Alltell provided the cell phone service for Cooper Tire in Albany when I worked at the plant.
They had to install several units similar to these to cover the entire plant(2.1 million sq feet), but they worked like a charm. :)

I don't remember what other specific models I was looking at. I just searched for cellular gsm amplifier" on google and started clicking.

So, here I go answering my IMs with a post. I'm back at work now.
We purchased the repeater you see linked above. It works well at the homes of two of us who took it home to play with it. Great reception. We haven't QUITE got it in our basement here because of the cable lengths and where exactly to run it.
So, if after your up's down's and around the walls, you can stay 50' from the antenna, it's a godsend if you're in a cellular hole.

Nice looking toy. Out at the lake where my mother lives we're in a hole. I'll get a ring then no service.. Wonder if that will help pickup the signal as weak as it is..
