My friend (who was first my junior high and then high school English teacher, then a colleague) will be lending me her blackberry for Wi-Fi access so that I don't have to lug a computer around. Have I mentioned that I travel light? I would actually carry a knapsack if I could get away with it, but since I can't...... and today I rented a Panda Phone. We did this last time and it was great. Phone is mailed to us from Texas with our number and access codes. We called home every day from China, left the phone at the hotel lobby on our way out of the country to be mailed back to Shanghai. Very reasonable rates, too.
