your problem is timing, and lack of patience.

The adapter that goes between the cable and your pigtail also comes in a female version :http://3gstore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=99&products_id=179. So you could still use the cable, just change adapters.

That cable can come configured any way you want. You just need to specify which, male or female, on one end. The majority of after-market yagi, panel, grid antennas terminate with N/female.

Make sure the yagi you get is a dual band covering both 800 and 1900. If you look at the above photo of the Yagi antenna you can see both long and short elements extending above and below that main shaft. The long elements are for 800-900 MHz, the short ones are for the 1900-2000MHz, which is also referred to as 1.9-2.0GHz.
