The Most Expensive Pocket PC Phone?

[Pony99CA]

The GSMK CryptoPhone 100 could be the most expensive Pocket PC Phone available. At $1800, you get what looks like an XDA running a slim version of Pocket PC Phone Edition with voice encryption.

It comes in a sealed box to ensure that it hasn't been tampered with. Of course, to call somebody else securely, they need another CryptoPhone. Fortunately, there seems to be a Windows version available for your desktop or laptop.

So, do we have any CIA or NSA employees here that need a phone like this? If you won't have to kill us to talk about it, post your thoughts in the discussion.

Perfect tool for terrorists! I hope to God that the creator of this thing makes sure to register every user with the CIA.

As the developer seems to be based in Germany, I doubt they care what the CIA thinks.

Of course, your argument leads to the more general one claiming that cryptographic techniques should be considered weapons, and therefore subject to export controls (for products developed in the U.S.). Let's not get into that here.
