There's an interesting conversation to be had about different conceptions of God and the reasons for religious law and whether loopholes in the law should be exploited or not, which would be relevant if this was an article about eruv or prozbol or selling land during the shmitta year.
But I fail to see how this is relevant to kosher phones. How is God being tricked? The claim is that God desires purity, which is damaged by unfiltered exposure to the outside world, and so adherents who want cell phones must purchase models that will not give them easy access to temptation.
It's a pretty reasonable position if you accept the initial premise. It's like not buying heroin because you know it's harmful.
