A Blackberry Bold Antenna is designed to increase the strength of the signal your cell phone receives, to attempt to avoid dropped calls, even when the available signal strength is low.
To attempt to increase the signal further, and get the best performance available, it is possible to pair it with a signal booster.http://www.discountcell.com/cellular/prodcat/blBold_6 BlackBerry Bold Antenna amplifiers can result in a substantial increase in cellular coverage in your office, home, vehicle, hotels or airports while travelling.

Blackberry Bold and iPhone Antenna Controversy
Shortly after the iPhone 4 was released by Apple, there were widespread reports of dropped call issues that were attributed to the antenna. Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple, made a statement where he claimed that the Blackberry Bold suffered from antenna problems itself.http://www.tipb.com/2010/07/16/apple-iphone-4-press-conference/ The co-CEO's of Research in Motion, makers of the Blackberry Bold, responded to say that the Blackberry antennas were innovative and effective, and did not have the issues that the iPhone antenna had. They implied that Jobs was attempting to confuse the public by bringing Blackberry into the story, thereby defecting attention from Apple's antenna issues.http://crackberry.com/rim-official-statment-response-apples-iphone-4-antenna-propaganda
