A good alternative might be to buy your own domain name (only around $20 a year), and put up a small personal site. You can then have your email address get redirected to your normal gmail one (and with gmail, it's easy to have it send messages from your new address also). This may also look more impressive on a CV since it signals some level of technical competence. Of course, you still have to choose a domain name, but it gives you a bit more flexibility.
For example, I have the address adele@<lastname>.org which redirects to my gmail account I've used for years.
Agree with this one. It's not hard to set up, for example, an account on NearlyFreeSpeech.Net, deposit $15, register a domain name through their system & forward emails to your existing Gmail account.
I do this as well. peter@peterhurford.com. Also gives me some nerd cred as "someone with their own personal website."
Varies. I still use dgerard@gmail.com rather than (anything)@davidgerard.co.uk, because if I say the first on the phone it's ridiculously more likely they'll get it right without me spelling more than the username.
