A completely locked down device ?

No. Im not in Lol

Their site doesn't do anything unless I disable noscript.

Probably more a sign of the times than of hypocrisy, but still amusing if you're easily amused...

That sounds suspiciously like the slogans on the toilet paper I bought recently.

Sounds a bit like a encrypted device + MDM, but you let them control the MDM-part. Also, the communications, while encrypted, still go through their servers. All in all, you have to put an awful lot of trust in their hands.

And as cvp said: as long as the sim and modem-parts are not separated but run inside the main system, bugs and other unwanted features could allow unlimited access to the rest of the device, accessible OTA. The Neo900 has a separate modem. It still could be eavesdropped, but only encrypted data sent and received by the main system.

Why on earth would anyone choose to use Android or indeed any Linux-based OS to do what they want to offer? If they want to build a phone that is completely locked down, Linux is way too bloated for this. The only reason that I can think of that they chose Android would be to take short cuts. If they think they can produce a secure phone simply by stripping out Google services, preventing the user from installing anything and by adding encryption, they are very much mistaken.

We have to stop right here!

I never wrote that I'm in favour of that phone, that concept, that company etc.

I just wrote that it is something different then the rest and now reading through the latest post I feel like a person who should be answering doubts posted in many posts above

My only goal was to start a discussion and show it to you and I can announce a success

I like to read TMO fellow members opinions about various tech topics.

And now for the bottom line - I can imagine a scenario in which a phone like this is useful, even for me, but... Before putting my monthly income on the table I would have to read some tests of it, look what more tech / security orienteted guys wrote after testing the real device - for now - there is only some info on the website and speculations so I wait and watch with a bit of pop corn in my hand!

I'm told these guys are legit.

Could be interesting (for consumers) if they do indeed offer an unlocked version.

Their main customer base with the existing product ought to be business and enterprise.

It's surprising that they'd even offer the phone without an option for installing third party apps to the consumer market.

I stopped reading about the Neo900 after so much time dragged on. Does this actually exist now (as your comment suggests)?

Actually there is one thing in fvour of Una OS - tutanota is cooperating with them and I can't say a bad word about their service

As for the Neo900 - well - they had some problems with PayPal, but everything is OK now so I hope that we start t get some news about the progress...

they want to be secure, so they deserve it...totally locked

nice idea
