Phone for a week

[daveoakley1]

Flying SYD to LAX for a week in California.
As I live in the country, I run a CDMA phone (of course). So a pre-paid US SIM card isn't on, unless I buy a cheapo 3-band GSM phone before I go.
Is that reasonable, or should I investigate renting a pre-paid phone when I get there?
Or is the whole thing just too expensive to be worthwhile?
