So, I'm thinking about transferring my old phone number to a cellphone when I move into the duplex. I've never had a cellphone before, and really know little about them. Nor am I sure what my calling habits will be, other than that I don't tend to call long distance really at all. Cellphone people, please give me advice on picking a phone, plan, and company.

I would recommend checking out Verizon. for "our" area, they have really great coverage, so you would rarely be in a place without service.
phone wise... I would suggest, a motorola or a samsung. I personally have always had good luck with those ones. Since you are a pretty busy person, and would just take the phone and go... maybe a flip phone? no accidental dialing people in your pocket...
I've had good luck with T-Mobile, they have 24/7 tech support which no other provider has and their phones work in Europe.
they have good plans and their free starter phone (Samsung C225) is of better quality than the starter phones from others.
If you get a National plan you get free Tmobile-Tmobile and free evenings and weekend. With cell phones there is no such thing as long distance, all phone call anywhere in the US are simply deducted from your minutes, even local calls. So this is something that you will want to consider when you decide how many minutes you are going to use. You can ask qwest for a detailed phone bill that includes the number of minutes used that month. On the flip side on the weekends you can call your family across the nation all day long and it will not cost you a penny. note that you will probably use more minutes because you will answer the phone more often if you carry it with you.
In short, though... it's all down to who has the most coverage for where you plan to be going the most. *sigh* not very helpfull in the end, eh?
