Under the pressure of our impending road-trip (as well as the geek-peer factor from the fact that our destination is silicon valley) I've finally caved and bought a cell phone. I'm not wild about the cost, the two-year lock-in, and my inability to test in the area where I'll be using it for 1.99 of the 2 years. But I must admit, the neato geek factor is pretty high. And now I'll stop having those "I really wish I had a cell phone" moments, which is a plus.
If I were a true geek, I'd probably have a Bluetooth-enabled combination PDA/phone/camera/slide rule/espresso machine... but I have to start somewhere.
