    There’s three companies that make privacy oriented and security cellphones.

    Blackberry, Boeing and Silent Circle.

    Silent Circle just released $800 BlackPhone 2 that has a lot of security features. Read here: http://www.cnet.com/products/blackphone-2/

    What you think?

    Interesting...

    I can't watch the vid b/c slow connection. But, I've read a little on the phones. From my understanding, they don't stop those who really wanna track you &, for me at least & as much as I hate the snooping, am not willing to spend that amount of coin on what is only a phone on my hands.

    Interesting to know, egres. The reason I thought my phone was encrypted was because it offers an option to encrypt data and requires a password. Never really felt secure that the info was encrypted.
