I got really weak signal with my S88, but that's mainly due the fact that my home is in area that has very bad signal. There is only few points in my house where you can speak more than 5-10 minutes without hung up. So, I decided to give a try, because I found out that S88 has external antenna connector at the back. First I tried to just stick some wire to the "inner" part of connector and I noticed the signal strenghtent a bit. Then I took the original antenna out and soldered a thin wire, placed it in the connector and glued it with superglue to the back. Here's a picture, should be simple enough

Of course you can always adjust the place of that wire. For me that worked fine, so I decided to leave it that way. I think now it's even better signal when I place my hand on the rear top end, where you shouldn't keep it according to manual (same thing on every phone). Before the mod SMS's were frequently not sent because bad signal and was very frustrated for that.
