Cell Out

Matthew Baldwin and I have been locked in battle for the title of last person on the planet to be without a cell phone, but I'm teetering on the edge of throwing in the towel for an upcoming project. Thing is, I know squat about cell phones. I've virtually never used one. I have DSL at home, so I can't get rid of my land line. A cell phone would primarily be used for incoming calls, and not very frequently. Here's what I'm looking for:

  • low monthy fee
  • built-in camera
  • address book
  • small form factor
  • POP3 email would be nice, but not essential
  • ability to use Google would also be nice, but not essential

    Any suggestions for cell phone models, carriers, and rate plans for someone who wants mobile telephony on the cheap?
