Need an adapter cable for the Motorola Droid. Do you carry that and would it work with my existing Wilson amplifier and booster antenna? What frequency band antennas do I need or will my existing cellular antenna work?

The Motorola Droid uses a Hirose MS-156 antenna switch port which unfortunately Rfwel doesn't carry. This is a small antenna port located behind the battery case. Here is a pic: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1614382-Droid-What-is-this-Antenna-plug. You may order this from digikey or mouser who would likely have it. Depending on what version of pigtail you get you can use an appropriate adapter to connect it to low-loss cable. Here are cellular band antennas if you need that: http://www.rfwel.com/signal_improvement/cellular_antennas.php

Note though that this is primarily designed as a factory test access port and is not suited for frequent removal/re-insertion (in fact it has a mating duty-cycle of less than 500 matings and after this you could permanently damage the RF input path).
