That's a spectacularly difficult question to answer.  It depends on a 
bunch of factors, so any answer anyone could give you
  would be largely bogus.

Although it does sound like something isn't right if your system can't 
"hear" the cell phone from more than 1 meter away.  Since i know
  that you're using OpenBTS, perhaps ask the OpenBTS folks what to 
expect from their application under various circumstances.

Generally, the RX cards are sensitive enough to provide similar 
"coverage" to what you'd expect from a similar hardware radio
  with the same overall functionality.
