I also live in Mesa, but haven't tried OmniSky. What kind of coverage did you get?
At the house it was pretty good. (Broadway/Dobson area) At the office it was non-existent unless I was standing near a window (very north Priest area). In the parking lot, it was great, but the building apparently blocked a lot of the signal (2nd floor of a 4 floor building).
When I had a good signal it was great, but since I couldn't get a signal while I sitting at my desk in my office, it pretty much defeated the purpose for which I purchased it.
I wanted to be able to get system status from a custom web page I was
building so that I could tell at a glance if all was up and running.
I could get better reception with a piece of foil attached to the antenna, but you look pretty foolish walking around like that. Kinda like an Alien chaser :-)
