Wait, is it modular, or sealed? I don't think you can have it both ways.
The PDF just says it has an expansion port.

So will this be enough to prevent the NSA from spying on its sister departments?
Or will there always be a back door to every comms device created by/for the US.

Wonderful. Yet one more thing the government doesn't need to spend money on...but it will, with wild abandon.

One thing bothers me. With this small battery, android, 2 sim cards, bluetooth, satellite calls option, data encryption, LTE, etc. power draining specs, the phone seems to be very unsuitable for heavy use. It would be very unreliable. I think that with this battery the phone could die for less than a day of use. Tripple the battery and this could be the right device. The chinese do it already.

Two days in a row with black 'phone releases! Do they know something that the rest of us don't?
I'm with Rt1583, on this. I bet it will cost the earth and we won't get to find out just how much that is.

I wish they would invent things to keep us safe from those who invent things to keep us safe.

Take it from me, as one who ran into this little issue when selling security product, if the only owners are security cleared before they are able to use a phone so clearly called `Boeing`, that is about as much use to the security community as a chocolate candelabra in a sauna.
May as well wear a bobble hat with `CIA` written on it.
There's a time for self-promotion. This ain't it Boeing.

*Every* time some smartypants invents a "secure" gadget, they wind up with egg on their face when it gets hacked. And you can guarantee it will be FIPS compatible (that is to say: contain NSA backdoors so nobody in govt can get away with undesirable behavior, like, whistleblowing or anything).
@snave is right - if you ever see anyone using that phone, you know you're in trouble.

I bought a software firewall for my mac, hacked in about 2 days. This is a hacker infested breeding ground, I'm relatively confident it will get hacked.

For the government, they would say NSA's monitoring is legal as they do it for the sake of the whole country's security.
However, on a personal level, it is illegal for us to monitor other's information without the user's permission. The monitoring tools like Micro Keylogger are not illegal. It totally depends on the way how we use it.
