Android Man, 29 Jul 2014blackberry pah. why are they not using the Black Phone.Blackphone or whatever, it has Android and Android head Sundar Pichai openly said that Android wasn't developed with security in mind. Also the company behind the Blackphone is new in the business while BlackBerry has a decade of experience, that is why no Blackphone. (:

                  When you scanned the SD and viruses were found it doesn't mean if came from the Blackberry device. As with any removable HD it can be used for many other things, for example he could have downloaded music from torrents, the song itself could of become corrupted and transfered over to the SD. What Im trying to say is, as you said your friend doesn't know about this stuff he could have downloaded the virus from anywere and you just happened to find it.

                    Is this a joke right?? AES 128 could be decoded in less than 1 second using NSA quantum machine. And the sdcard is SAME for any device. So just grab one, and extract the algorythm. Really ZERO security phones. I could intercept them easily!!!

                                  No iphone for Bammy either then, doesn't seem to matter what apple say about themselves to the good, nor the negatives about android to put people off buying, the truth is if governments don't know about spyware no one does, and thier lesson to us seems to be, no matter what fabricated apple hype an android gainsay...you don't have security with apple either.

                                      The best way to keep it, is always off wwhen not needed, and on as long as you require, and its depend on your calling activities too.

                                        Wish the micro sd cards were a bit cheaper as I'd get one myself. Thinking of migrating to the bb passport when it comes out.
