   Two phones is a good idea.  Or two chips, but then you have to be   
   careful not to accidentally share your contacts with the app.  Gotta be   
   careful.  Two phones is safer because then you have no contacts in the   
   second one.

   It's also nice to host your own mail.  It's not as difficult as people   
   have been saying lately.  A few weeks of reading (YMMV) can take you   
   from zero to up and running.
