Blackphone introduction

Silent Circle and Geeksphone have partnered to combine best-of-breed hardware with all the skills and experience necessary to offer BLACKPHONE, the world's first smartphone which prioritizes the user's privacy and control.

Blackphone is unlocked and works with any GSM carrier. Performance benchmarks put it among the top performers from any manufacturer.

It has the features necessary to do all the things you need, as well as all the things you want, while maintaining your privacy and security and giving you the freedom to choose your carrier, your apps, and your location.

The tools installed on Blackphone give you everything you need to take ownership of your mobile presence and digital footprints, and ensure nobody else can watch you without your knowledge.

You can make and receive secure phone calls; exchange secure texts; exchange and store secure files; have secure video chat; browse privately; and anonymize your activity through a VPN.

Well, given the few facts I read about the Blackphone, I'd consider the following setup just as good, yet cheaper: used phone, CyanogenMod, device encrypted, RedPhone for calls, TextSecure for texts, Xabber + OTR for messaging, DroidWall, Orbot as a proxy.

A proper open source OS would be nice, but CM will do for the time being.

Too bad the NSA is installing their spying hardware and software at the manufacturer so all the 'security' features mean nothing.

Give me a smartphone that can record both sides of the conversation to your phone's memory (WITHOUT using the speakerphone function) and I'm sold. In particular, I'd like to record a conversation I'm having on a bluetooth headset. It can't be done as far as I know.

Really could have done without the cheesy quasi trench-coat dude. They're just feeding the stereotype that people who are concerned about government spying are a bunch of paranoid schizophrenics.
