If security is that important you must use a blackberry then. Good choice.

Security on a phone is a serious issue and one that I think people overlook. Its all too easy to crack bluetooth and get a phonebook and pictures--everything a bastard kid needs to potentially blackmail you.
Extremely underwhelmed by the decision to keep the same enclosure for the iPhone 4S. Bad move. Aluminum is much better.
The new camera looks amazing. By far the best camera ever in a smart phone. Should rival point and shoots from a few years ago with it's advanced backlit sensor. It really is about time someone has leveraged gyroscopes/accelerometers to do stabilization.
The software looks incredible. iOs 5 looks awesome. The siri stuff is really quite scary to me. It's ridiculously cool technology much like IBM's Watson with it's natural language processing. Having said that, it's a little frightening and terminator like.
It's the best smart phone still, certainly the fastest, but c'mon, really, still a 3.5" screen? You could easily fit a 4" screen on that enclosure with the size of the bezel. That would have been a HUGE improvement. As I've said before, I do not care for the glass back on the iPhone 4. Why would they keep that when it's susceptible to cracks? Aluminum!!!!
Just called Sprint. My SERO premium (40$) account will work evidently with a subsidized iPhone!
Unlimited everything for 40$ and a 199$ 16GB iPhone 4S.

DAYUM!... You're good!... :bow: ... I'm "wired" just like you (a bit literally and a little bit more so figuratively) and exercise the same due dilligence in doing what I can to prevent "issues" with regards to the potential dispersion of personal info... like not including the last names of my contacts etc...
This Forbes article is interesting.

Having said that, I think the choice is clear. Apple is a hardware company. Period. They'll never stop making innovative, high end high margin devices for consumers as long as Steve is with us.
Steve Jobs has passed away. Rest in peace, Steve.

Big day for AAPL tomrrow, could be awful for their share price.
Estimates for AAPL were $7.296 quarterly earnings per share, and they reported $7.05 today after the close. Their first "miss" in about 5 years.
Could trigger a massive sell-off of AAPL as those with "paper profits" earned over the last 2 years seek to lock them in. A drop of $40-$50/share (about 10%) will probably happen. Maybe even a lot more than that.
It appears the analysts were, in fact, wrong, at least in their quarterly estimates.
They key factor now is if this causes FY2012 revisions downward; or if the delay in releasing the new iphone is simply pushing sales back.
AAPL share price could take a double hit as investors ruminate over not only the first quarterly "miss" in forever, but also what the death of Steve Jobs will mean to the company.
