    Surely if it still connects to the cell towers they can still get hold of your data and your location?

    Its actually pretty impressive once you go into the finer details. The phone basically stops companies from getting any info from you. You'll notice when you dl a game of the play store it usually says the game needs access to your contacts and shit like this, where as this they can't do that.

    So its biggest selling point is its security :| that surely can only apply to a very niche market

    Privacy is the thing I care the least about, so won't bother with this.

    A lovely price of $629 is a bit steep though
