I was only making a side point, not inviting a bash-fest of cell phone
companies.
But thanks for bringing us back on topic. In fact, I just got our bill
for our company backups - it was $1.78 last month on Amazon S3 (you
only pay for what you use). Mozy and others offer free limited
storage, which may be enough for you. And of course, Yahoo mail,
Windows Live mail, Gmail, and others all offer lots of free cloud
email storage.
The ridiculously popular Carbonite ("Peace of Mind" backup) is only
$4.60/mo unlimited; clearly a ton of people don't find that too
expensive.
You are also incorrect about needing a continuous connection. But
obviously broadband is what makes _large_ amounts of cloud storage
tenable. And if my broadband at home wasn't so reliable, I too would
probably never consider webmail, even though gmail offers offline
access.
