I get my connectors at Talley Communications in Fremont
(www.talleycom.com), or Tessco (www.tessco.com) via telephone-order. 
Both of these companies are big suppliers to the cellular telephone
industry.

Talley really isn't set up to handle purchases from individuals, so it
helps to be able to say you're affiliated with some company or another
when buying from them.  They have a great warehouse with complete stock
of all sorts of coax and connectors, and very helpful sales folks.

Tessco also has great stock, can ship overnight, and are very
efficient.  They have all types of connectors.

I'm very partial to the crimp connectors from Times Microwave
(www.timesmicrowave.com), as well as their coax (e.g. LMR-240,
LMR-500).  If you shell out a few bucks for their cable-stripper tool
and a crimper (inexpensive at Frye's), you can't beat their crimp
connectors for reliability and ease of installation.  You can also buy
the crimp connectors directly from Times Microwave, but I don't recall
if there's a minimum order required.

Cheers,
