Encrypted phone calls and everything on a unlocked GSM phone

Phil Zimmerman's company should do OK with this until Moxie Marlinspike's whispersystems comes out with fully vetted, open source products that mirror all this phone's functionality. The only thing keeping us from free encrypted phone calls now is the cost involved.
The trouble is, the NSA have intended to build in to encryption schemes their own back doors for decades and have probably been succesful in all of them.
SSL/TLS gets broken almost every year and yet everyone happily does their online banking and their corporate Radius logins using it.
Once it's decided that you merit monitoring then there's no such thing as electronic privacy.
Even if you don't deserve special attention you're probably still being harvested in an attempt to find 'wrong doers', considering what we now know (and some of us have long suspected) about NSA/GCHQ dredging techniques.
It's just a phone that's black, and it's another instance of using fear to sell a product ;+}
The NSA got themselves into a bunch of elliptic curve cryptography, but nobody knows how much. But these are for certain curves used in commercial products. That's not to say all the crypto is suspect.
There is some legitimate fear here. Some people trust their lives to crypto. If that's broken then we have some BIG problems.
