A Phone that the NSA Cannot Hack?

An interesting article was published yesterday about a Madrid-based communications firm introducing an encrypted cellular phone called the Blackphone.  The phone is pictured here:

This cellular phone offers all of the conveniences of a normal smartphone, but offers encryption for everything you do on the phone, going so far as to claim that the phone will protect you from the prying eyes of everyone and anyone, including hackers and even the NSA.

Readers of this blog know that this is a PRS Level 0.  It is impossible to do what the company is claiming using standard operating systems and regular apps on normal cell towers, but this is a clever marketing gimmick!

Tips for protecting privacy on your cellphone were discussed in a previous blog post which can be found here.
