T-Mobile: The cell phone for Couchsurfers

It's nice to see Couchsurfing getting some mainstream publicity, but did it have to happen this way?

In the commercial, a self-proclaimed Couchsurfer waxes poetic about his T-Mobile cell phone, saying that without the great coverage of his phone, he'd be "outta luck" as far as surfing couches goes.

I wouldn't go that far, but as much as it pains me to admit it, having a cell phone probably would make Couchsurfing a lot more convenient. Especially since pay phones have virtually disappeared.
