...the point has now arrived for some of us to draw the line on what personal and professional info we donate to a profit making and largely un-accountable company(s) in the USA.
One way of stemming much this autonomous and constant data-vacuuming is by using a BB10 device (and an outgoing firewall/VPN) but millions of Android users mostly don't see the point of limiting the functionality of their phones in return for personal privacy, which many now regard as an outdated concept. Until you ask them for their name, home address, birthdate, social security number, phone number, and credit card details. Nothing to hide?
So trying to stay on topic here, BB10 devices still have an important place for those of us who don't want yet more info fed to Google etc, and still find enough functionality in BB10 to run a business or a busy life...
