Author suggestions for phone for US/Germany/Italy/Switzerland/Austria use

I'm looking at buying a new cell phone. I'm going with Cingular because
that is what my husband has, so we would save on calls to ourselves.
I'll be traveling over to Europe, primarily Germany, Italy, Switzerland
and Austria, during January and February the next few years. I'd like
to be able to use my phone on my travels so that I can just give out my
one phone number.

I'd like suggestions for what phone would be worth considering. I'd
like to have the largest, most clear screen possible as my primary
issue. Camera is not needed.

On the topic of international calls - is there any huge difference in
cost between just using my Cingular vs doing a pay-as-you-go phone plan
in Europe?

Thanks!

Motorola V557.

There is a huge difference. You'll need to unlock a Cingular-branded phone to
use an overseas SIM. After you've had the phone for 30 days, ask Cingular for
the unlock code.

See the FAQ below for more information on international usage.
