meme
it's a fucking phone, you cannot ask for complete privacy.
The whole concept is like being a fat americuck going on a rampage in thailand fucking bareback pretty much any and every tranny/girl/boy and then pretending you won't get aids or every possible std possible.

The fucking promotional render shows google apps. So yes, it's not only a meme, but also a scam.
If you need more privacy on a phone install cyanogenmod without google apps.
is it for black people

Any communication device in 2016 that promises security/privacy is a meme.
It still has to go through an insecure, vulnerable, data-collecting, interest-biased service provider.
Until someone launches their own networks, with their own intranet, and complete transparency in operation, we'll never have total freedom/privacy in communication.
There are select Sat Phone providers who promise ALMOST this, but they still usually don't own/control some part of the process. As I'm now aware of FOSS satellite hardware/embedded modems.

Who gives a shit you nigger just buy a normal fucking phone and stop finding ways to waste your shitty money.
> complete privacy
> doesn't come with antenna
That'd be one way of doing it, I guess.

as far as I can tell, it's the GSM/baseband part of the phone that presents the only real security threat -- the rest of it is just an ARM computer that can be modified at will to protect privacy
the idea of the blackphone was for all this to be pre-packaged for the end-user. I think they imagined people like CEOs, bureaucrats, sensitive-tech workers as their ideal customer base ... no idea how successful it was (but it's always a bad idea to put all your security eggs in one person/company/method's basket)

That's not how it is. They offer services which are endpoint encrypted.

Why are Google services inherently anti-privacy? You can turn off all sorts of settings which generally track.
