does anyone in the UK offer these yet? read something a while back but having trouble finding anything right now. was sure orange did but can't see on their website.

cousin is looking for a new mobile but can't get any reception in the house so would pick a carrier based purely on the availability of that.

Yes, Vodafone.

Other networks were trialling them but not sure how far they got.

The Vodafone one was very flaky when it first appeared but it seems to have settled down now. I have full five bar 3G throughout the house on my Blackberry now when I'd barely get a signal at all before.

I just want them for O2 and Orange as well. Or ideally they'd all get together and provide one that works on all networks. In our dreams!

I'm having problems with both of the Vodafone ones I have (one at home, one in the office) but they're getting better.

O2 are indeed working on them, the last I heard was that they'll be trialling them late this year.
