This type of product will not work... not at least until blockchain has a standard...

Why? Simple...

  • How many persons use this phone right now? How many you think it will use?
  • How many apps will not quite work with this phone because of the modified OS?
  • How can you guarantee that if the company providing the IPS system, gets hacked, you don't loose all your keys?
  • etc...

I think the best cell phone is the one that one day will be free (the OS at least), and the hardware you can build as you like, then you put on top whatever people develop and curate.

In fact, it would get me scared if someone is actually using something like this!!!

Also, there is actually only one feature with this phone... which is the IPS system where you need to trust someone else to inspect everything you do on the phone. The other features, almost all phones have...

Multi-Layered Cypersecurity Suite

This is basically MFA (2-FA) or screen locks, or others similar.

Encrypted P2P Calls

This has to be IP/data based. Current GSM network can't guarantee end-to-end encrypted calls. You can send encrypted info over GSM, but the destination will not understand if not supporting the same code. Hence this has to be software based, which many things already do it, like Whatsup, Skype, etc...

Encrypted Email and SMS

Same thing.... software has to support (sender and receiver).

For any of the above if both sender/receiver don't both support the methods of encryption, then it means its not fully encrypted... and there is someone in the middle doing decryption, which can be the company providing the IPS, but then it is "not encrypted" half way.

It all looks very pretty in paper... but, I don't think this kind of product will strive. My view.
