Where are you sourcing those "proper" cell phone radios which don't contain secret binary blobs? I want one too.

- mirimir 11y agoYou nuke the radio, and use a standalone cell modem. The cell modem may be compromised, but it can't touch the device that's handling encryption.
- narrowrail 11y agoSpeaking of which, where is the flip phone with integrated 4G modem and wifi that can be used as a hotspot?
- plugnburn 11y agoWhy doesn't a cheapest Android smartphone with a 3G modem (say Alcatel 4009D) fit? Because it's not 4G? Well, here's the real tradeoff: security, comfort, cheapness. Pick two.
- narrowrail 11y agoMostly because I believe the device can be more cheaply made if it does not have to run a full-featured OS such as Android. No browser, no color screen, just like my old Nokia candy bar phone; no GPU at all would be required.
