cell phone advice sought

OK, folks, here's your chance to sound off about cell phones, because I'm thinking of getting a new one, AND switching providers.

I want to use it at home in Phoenix, I want to use it on vacation in the United States. And, overseas, in Europe and Japan primarily, I want to be able to rent a SIM card so I don't have to mess around with pay phones.

I'm half-wondering if I should import a GSM phone from overseas, considering how often I've heard that the U.S. is in the dark ages when it comes to phones. On the other hand, the only extra I think I'd really need is a camera.

But, in an era where there are two wireless phone stores on every strip-mall, and a booth selling wireless service every ten feet at Arizona Mills, something tells me if I'm not careful, I'm going to let someone make a LOT of money off of me.

So, does anyone have any advice on what I should be looking for in service, and what kind of corporate scams I can avoid with a little attention?

Another Lonely Guy Moment.

A woman I liked just confessed to me that she slept with a guy, whom she is now avoiding because he is the biggest jerk ever.

I'm angry, as a typical lonely guy would be upon hearing this.

And I feel bad about being angry, not just because it's a cliche, but because she's dealikng with some pretty harsh consequences as a result of her actions. It's not a time to be thinking about my own selfish needs.

I considered that I might feel different if it were a guy telling me about some psycho girl. But, the root cause of the anger is pretty much the same: sociopaths get laid constantly. The difference is I'm not also thinking "THAT LOSER, BUT NOT ME?!" the whole time.

If she'd picked a winner, I'd probably have been happy for her. Then the voice would be saying "hey, she was holding out for something good," and the universe would make sense.

Do women get this riled up when men tell them about women they wish they hadn't slept with?
