A New handset, called 'Blackphone' is to be unveiled at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain on February 24th.

Blackphone is powered by a security-oriented Android. Build has been named PrivatOS, and is a carrier- and vendor-independent smartphone giving individuals and organizations the ability to make and receive secure phone calls, exchange secure texts, transfer and store files, and video chat without compromising user privacy on the device.

 

It is the culmination of several careers' worth of effort from leading figures in the industry, including Phil Zimmermann, creator of PGP; Javier Aguera, co-founder of Geeksphone; Jon Callas, co-founder of PGP Inc. and CTO of Silent Circle; Rodrigo Silva-Ramos, co-founder of Geeksphone; and Mike Janke, CEO of Silent Circle and former US Navy SEAL.

If Phil Zimmerman is a part of it then the NSA is out. Of course they do have virtually unlimited resources.....

This is cool from a personal privacy standpoint, but (and not to start a political argument here) wouldn't this make it easy for terrorists and other undesirables to exchange info securely?

I imagine it would.  As the old saying goes, pick your poison.

What's the old saying about trading your freedom for security. This phone is a marvelous idea. Could NSA hack it? Of course they can. But, if used it properly you all but eliminate your digital fingerprint.
