    First, the hardware. A 5-inch handset with a Full HD screen (protected on the outside by Gorilla Glass 3), it’s running on a 64-bit Qualcomm octa-core processor, backed by 3GB of RAM. A removable 3060mAh battery sits inside (with Quick Charge 2.0 features), with microSDXC support for expandable memory. So far, so standard.

    It’s on the software side where things get a bit more interesting, and that 3GB of RAM shows its worth. Though Running on Android, the phone is equipped with Silent Circle’s PrivateOS 1.1, an enterprise-orientated, highly secure layer that sits on top of Google’s OS.

    This gives users a “Spaces” UI, which keeps the different areas of your mobile life encrypted and compartmentalised. It’s essentially a virtualisation system, letting the Blackphone 2 act as separate “devices” within itself, even offering different log-ins running concurrently on each app or service. So, you can set up an Enterprise Space for your work documents and communications, a Personal Space for your private emails and saucy sexting pics, and a Silent Space that’s pretty much a phone-wide version of Chrome’s “Incognito Mode”.

    Each space can be filled with the “Silent Suite” apps, whose functions are pretty self explanatory; Silent Text, Silent Contacts and Silent Phone, each keeping your communications encrypted and isolated from each other. The phone will also come equipped with the Silent Store, the world’s first-privacy and security orientated app store.
    I haven't gotten the impression that MV's concern is the privacy of his communications, but whether the government can keep tabs on his movements and whereabouts.
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

    I understand the concept. I do not want to have to deal with a kludged solution. Instead I want a phone that does all the hard work for me.

    Yes, military grade. I got another for my laptop/tablet. I have some other brand for my two HT HAMs (size reasons).

    You likely couldn't get such a phone under current law. You need a new telecommunications law that prohibits such tracking. In the meantime, don't carry a cell phone with you.

    Does it drain your battery because the phone is looking always looking for a signal?
