[pct-l] pocketmail setup

[David Ellzey]

Terrastar put their satellite up not that long ago and should be offering their hybrid service soon:

This would be one device, an email capable smartphone for terrestrial wireless, and satellite based communication.

What's up everybody!
     So I was planning on taking a SPOT and pocketmail on my thru-hike, but I was wondering if I have to take a cell phone too to work my pocketmail.  I'm not too crazy about taking so many devices.  R there any alternatives?  Communication back home is very important to me, so if I gotta do what I gotta do, then I gotta do what I gotta do.  But I wanted to know what other people use to communicate back home and what works best for them.  Thanks!
