Note: I do NOT represent or endorse any of these links nor do I receive payment for listing them in my blog. However, I do use a TIM SIM card when I travel to Italy with my existing Nokia GSM, tri-band and unlocked cell phone. [Update: A/O 2008, I now have an unlocked, quad-band HP iPAQ 510 and my wife has a Nokia 1200 that she bought at a TIM store in Arezzo. We are using TIM SIM cards in both phones.]
IMPO (In my personal opinion), it is cheaper and less expensive to buy a GSM, tri-band or quad-band and unlocked cell phone than to rent one for Italian or world-wide vacation travel especially if you already have a GSM, tri-band or quad-band and unlocked cell phone in the USA from Cingular or T-Mobile or bought off of Ebay.
As long as it's a GSM, tri-band or quad-band and unlocked cell phone you can use it with a SIM card from one of the cellular network providers in Italy or another European country.
NOTE: A cell phone and/or a SIM card bought in Italy will work on the cellular network in other European countries.
Caveat (Warning): ALWAYS test the SIM card in your cell phone before you leave the cellular vendor's store in Italy!!!! If you buy a SIM card over the Internet or someplace else, be sure there is a return policy for the SIM card, if it doesn't work in you cell phone.
