New Built-In Security Android Smartphone on market
I have just come across this phone on the net. It says it carries dual secure OS (I assume much like the silent circle blackphone 2 which BP1 is a fail), I am not sure whether it is as secure as they describe on their website and on some articles. But it attracts my attention due to its design. I still not convinced Android can be secured but if I am going to buy a android, this could be my next alternative.

The world is getting bored with Apple and Samsung monopoly. I hope Blackberry smartphone has more interesting design.

what does privacy really mean
@ thurask
You centred the point. How can we trust a product to protect our privacy if we cannot even look within it?
Yes, you played the Chinese card, but unfortunately even Blackberry just licensed the entire hardware manufacturing to a Chinese manufacturer.
I don't want to get there because everyone manufactures phones in China (Apple is the first).
The point remains, if we can't look inside a product, in my opinion we cannot trust it.
On top of it we need to clarify what privacy includes or means when it comes to our personal correspondence.
A general definition of what is private should include:
- who do we call (text or e-mail) or who do we receive calls (text or e-mail) from
- how frequently we do receive or place such calls (text, e-mails)
- the content of our correspondence
- our geographic location
So in some ways a combination of the so-named meta-data and the correspondence itself.
Now, I am not aware of any smartphone whose broadband chip firmware is open. Neither Apple, nor Samsung nor Blackberry.
And since the broadbandchip provides connectivity to the cellular networks, it holds pretty much the key of all the details I mentioned above.
Not to mention that all smartphones that connect to cellular networks have a unique identification number that can be used, legally or illegally, to track us and tap our calls, text and internet data traffic.
I would conclude therefore by saying that if any of you is serious about protecting the privacy of your digital correspondence, I would not look at any phone that uses standard cellular (or satellite) networks to connect and exchange data.
p.s. I am not a native Engish speaker, so I apologize in advance for any mistake or misuse of the language. I hope nonetheless I was able to transfer the relevant concepts appropriately.
