If you need better cellular reception in your car but your phone does not have an external antenna port, this cradle will work for you. The cradle arms are adjustable, allowing any phone to fit securely in the cradle.

The cradle connects to a 3 watt booster, then to an outdoor antenna, dramatically increasing the reception to your phone. The phone does need to be in the cradle for the phone to receive the increased signal.

The kit comes with the adapter cradle, a pedestal windshield mount, air vent mount, adhesive mount and screw mount. It also comes with a coaxial cable RG 174 with an FME Female connector on the end.

The frequency is 824-960 Mhz/1700-2100 MHz and the impedance 50 ohms.

This is a great solution for a phone without an external antenna option if you need a way to hook up your phone to a 3 watt booster. It is also the perfect solution if you have more than one phone that you may need to use with a 3 watt booster.

The Bury Comfort Cradle for Blackberry Curve, 8300, 8310, and 8320 phone is a convenient way to mount your phone in a car. This cradle, made specifically for these Blackberry phones, provides a solid fit, power, and an external antenna connection. You can increase your signal reception either with the included blade style antenna or by connecting the cradle to a signal booster such as the Wilson Amplifiers.

While the cradle does not provide hands free functions, teaming it with a good Bluetooth Headset or Car Kit completes the package.

The Bury cradle is good quality, fits the phone well, and works as advertised. The external antenna connection is a real plus for those that need to increase their signal. It also makes it easy to see your phone in the car and provides all the benefits of a full install car kit when used with Bluetooth headsets or car kits. We prefer the Bluetooth headset just so we can use it in or out of car.

Bury also makes its own line of Bluetooth Car Kits including units with large LCD touch screens. More info on those at a future date.
