Most carriers carry the v60i, but there are different versions depending on each network. You want the v60i antenna for CDMA phones. Those are Verizon phones that have retractable antennas.
I broke the antenna about five times in half a year. I was not being very careful, but i was being pretty careful.
I noticed the top base of my v60i antenna was cracked over the weekend. i suppose it from the accidently bang up's from the car seat belt or who know's what. i brought it in to Verizon wireless and they replaced it for me for FREE! Rock ON!!
oh i failed to mention that the v60i antenna gets great reception. when fully extended i get 4-5 bars. but again, it could be location range.
