I am suprised how quiet you guys are on this topic.
As I read and re-read the advertising it seems the only differences
a 1) the color of the units, 2) the configuration of the buttons,
3)the Spot Connect allows you to use your smart phone to send text
messages out via satellite in areas where there is no cell phone
coverage, 4) the Spot can send out custom text messages that you have
pre-configured on your computer. *Am I missing anything?

Guy, that is pretty much it. I've been using a SPOT1 since it first
came out, and once one gets used to the odd "switchology", it has
worked fine for me. I haven't felt the need to be able to send text
messages other than the custom SPOT messages - the custom ones suit me
just fine and are pretty easy to set up.

My wife won't let me fly without it - that says it all!
