I've never had a problem with the device or the service.  AT, PCT,  
and several
longish section hikes.  I keep it in a ziplock bag while hiking.  I  
never use the
backlit display so the AA batteries keep it going for a long while.   
It is reasonably
light and OK to type on and works with any phone.

I think the probability of finding a phone in trail towns is higher  
than the probability
of getting a decent wireless signal for a cell/blackberry device.
