@ Erwin: An Apple iPhone I find nevertheless a pleasant thought. Their business model is selling iPhones, not by selling my information to advertisers. A smartphone from Google would therefore indeed be twice as expensive, that is not an iPhone. I’m so happy to pay relative anonymity for me.

Windows Phone then? Hmm … Which smartphone or tablet OS allows you as a user really alone, and protects you from the prying eyes of the NSA? No. Why not? Because there is just a business model behind it, it is different than simply sell calls. If manufacturers could not make this information was a Smartphone Tablet fo at least twice more expensive.

Zg obfuscated code. Not difficult. I would do if I was virus baker.
