Tax tips

I have a cell phone and I certainly do use it for officiating, but I use it for personal stuff too. Can I deduct the cost? If not, what would be the requirement for me to deduct the cost? Would I have to prove that I use it ONLY for officiating? I would be willing to get another cell phone if I could write off the whole cost, but again, this seems a little too generous for the IRS. Any ideas?

And what about a PDA where I keep my schedule, association list, expenses, and mileage? Plus hopefully one day the rule book and case book.
