Hmmm. I'm intrigued. Don't have a reason to own one other than thumbing my nose at the NSA.

That's pretty cool bud I'd never buy a Blackberry. That company is going down the tubes.

If it gets too popular they figure out a way to crack them all.

I didn't watch the video and the phone part of Blankphone was covered up slightly so I automatically assumed it was a Blackberry. My bad.

Nothing like putting a challenge out there to ensure that your claim is proven wrong

oh, and it is android based so it will be cracked quickly.

As if the US government will allow anything to be sold that they can't intercept.

just the facts. It isn't like they created some OS from scratch. They adapted something that is already out there, which everyone can tell you usually creates more issues. Adapting something creates more holes than a well planned, started from scratch system.

but it's really not about the software

it's more about encrypting the info being sent and received

That's not how it works, though. You crack the software you crack the encryption/decryption process.
