I want to get this right, so I’ve decided to get the opinion of all you smart folks out there. I’ve seen the word written both ways, I personally write cellphone as one word, but I’ve seen it written as two words too. Technically I would imagine that I can’t go wrong if I write cell phone, but I would feel better if I heard other opinions on the subject.
Thanks for the assist.
All the best,

Welcome to EL&U. Ultimately, this is just a matter of convention; see When should compound words be written as one word, with hyphens, or with spaces? If there is no convention, pick one, or pick a style manual to pick one for you.

I would have to go with cell phone, as 'cell' is actually the abreviated 'cellular' of 'cellular phone'.

The most contemporary expression might be just cell.
If you have to go through the trouble of spelling it out, it should be cell phone. But 9 times out of 10, you should not go through that trouble.
Call my cell.
