One of the biggest topics this year is going to be privacy, and BlackPhone is looking to capitalize on that. This smartphone comes out of a joint venture between Silent Circle and Geeksphone, and it will run a secure version of Android called PrivatOS. It will support secure phone calls, texting, file storage, and video chats. It will also run on GSM networks. Obviously corporations will be a target demographic, but consumers are likely to jump in as well.

The BlackPhone will be unveiled at next month's Mobile World Congress, but if you want to sign up for updates, be sure to hit the source link.

Robert lives in upstate New York where he was born and raised. Technology was always his passion. His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.
