It Hertz! Exactly.

Harrumph! As I mentioned yesterday, I left my cell phone in the Hertz rental car and by the time I got back there the car had already been shipped off to Logan airport. They said they would look for the phone when they cleaned it and call me at my hotel. Well, this afternoon I hadn't heard anything so I walked over to Hertz again and found out that they never found it. I'm pretty sure it was in there so either they didn't look very hard or someone stole it.

So, I'm still under contract and not eligible for any discounted phones (I think I want the iPhone!) until October. However, when I walked into the AT&T store here in Boston - to lock the SIM-card - they told me I could get a new SIM-card from them and walk around the corner and pick up a phone for $13.99 at F.Y.E. It's meant to be used for their GoPhone plans (no contract/pay-as-you-go/refill...) but they'll accept any AT&T SIM-card. So, I picked up a Motorola c168i and it's a surprisingly good phone: color screen, very small and light, all the common features... It's missing bluetooth, but I can live without that for two months.
