I'm in a similar situation, although I actually bought a GPS, just 'cause I'd been out of country for so long that the roads had changed. I've a Blackberry, but with no services active except for voice and text, via AT&T's GoPhone plan - pay $2 on the days you use the phone, and get unlimited text and voice on those days; pay nothing on the days you don't use it. It's an immense savings, and I'm by no means in a low-wage job or a college student - I just look at it this way: why pay for a plan which would otherwise fund a round-trip for two to Europe, every year?
