24 February, 2014
The stealthy-looking handset boots a privacy-conscious Android build called PrivatOS.

Security issue and comments aside. I must say its a stellar looking and very smart and attractive design.

    AnonD-135230, 24 Feb 2014What is everyone doing on their phone that is SO important ... moreIt's just a matter of privacy, it doesn't feel right for someone to be watched by someone else let alone someone you know nothing of, and just because I won't let you come with me in the bathroom it doesn't mean I'm doing something wrong there.

    I wouldn't buy this though

      AnonD-135230, 24 Feb 2014What is everyone doing on their phone that is SO important ... moreIllegal? Maybe not, but do you know what "private" means? Do you really not care if people in another country read your private things, look at your private photos, listen when you have problems, fights, when you're down etc? What if NSA was from Afghanistan, would you be OK with them listening to your talk? Also, the NSA guys are laughing at people paying for the equipment they use to spy on them. If NSA could at least pay for the extra data they draw from your phone... But they don't even do that.

                  some people just think that its nobodies business, and would like to have some privacy

                      co-developed by geeksphone?
                      honestly? its a phone for geeks or presumes to be one and does not even have expandable memory? and adding insult to injury...the price is through the roof

                      I know some might say that a memory card would undermine the security, all I will say...program/develop a OS that is then even tougher!

                            What is everyone doing on their phone that is SO important that the don't want it tracked?

                            Unless you're doing something highly illegal, you shouldn't really care. I don't care if google tracks what I do lol. I'm not doing anything illegal, so It doesn't matter if they track me or not.

                                  [deleted post]I tend to agree, but my problem is much more with Google than anything else, very intrusive and uncomfortable. i dont want or need any ads, and i have with minimal effort managed to fool Google quite well, in Firefox is get only totally irrelevant ads now.

                                  My search engine is DuckDuckGo by the way, but i also use Yahoo, especially if searching photos, and even Bing photo search i have used from time to time, since DuckDuckGo has a link to Bing image search (not too Yahoo unfortunately). As long as its not Google then im ok. Just wish i could stop using Android, theres no serious option yet.
