So does anyone know when this will be released to the public? I know it's still in beta, but any ETA? I really need something like this where I live. Even going outside is not much help.
Got a tip for us?

If I were you I'd get in touch with Apple and try to escalate as high as you can to try and get one. Any leverage you have will be helpful in getting one. If your monthly bill is high, that will help in the same way that it helped people get the 3GS quicker than 18 months after they got the 3G. Give it a shot

Call Apple and not AT&T??
Apple has nothing to do with the Beta program for this service that I am aware of, he probably put in a typo and meant you should contact AT&T.
I called AT&T and they said Radio Shack has them. Seems like AT&T has low hiring standards there.
Well, AT&T said by the end of the year. If they are anything like Apple, that translates to Dec 31, 2009 at 11:59:59 PM.
I certainly hope it's sooner than that. I can't wait to be able to actually use my cell phone in my house.
Well the sooner the better. To bad their pricing wasn't something similar to what verizon did.
nobody knows anything about pricing yet, its still in trials so anything is speculation
cool. nearly identical. one question, does yours reboot ever? I noticed mine does sometimes, usually late at night around midnight. 3g bars flash, then after a few i get the service back. i was thinking it may be them pulling diagnostics. i had it reboot also one time while both of us were on the phone simultaneously, although on the website it states it supports up to 4 simultaneous calls
Just a little update on my microcell trial, got an email today:
So, making an assumption here, it looks as if they are going to give the option of buying the device and using your minutes, or getting an unlimited feature in the future.
Pretty cool, it was fun. And Ive used the hell out of it.

Thanks for the update sir. Looks like they might be rolling it out in a couple of months. It can't come soon enough
Sounds like you buy it and can use your phone as normal, however the signal is perfect. Minutes and all that are the same as if you did not have it. Then there would be the option to have UNLIMITED minutes while using the device for a fee.
Make sense, but not really. I still don't get how they can charge you for unlimited minutes on the device, on your network that you are already paying for. Lol. I just don't get that. Whatever. I will pick it up for the coverage aspect.
sweet!! i got my last survey for the trial last night. i fill it out, then at the end they are like, if you are selected, would you like to join a discussion group to talk to techs about your experiences with the device, another $100 compensation will be given to you(in addition to the $100 i get for the trial itself), and it would be 3 hours one day (2 hours for the meeting, 1 hour travel time)
I will mention this thread and your concerns (mostly pricing). who knows maybe itll make a difference. As far as the device, the best thing thats happened to my cell service.

Yes, please voice our concerns! They will most likely listen to you since you are the test group.
none, except jealousy
I would be interested in buying this from any of you that would like to make a few Buck$.
I think this would be a great seller if the price was competitive and it does as it promises. The big question is.... when can we get it??
Actually. If they follow the mms trend you will get a microcell 3 days AFTER the end of the year date.
