Valid point (I agree with both you and javispedro just to be clear).

My 2 cents: If WhatsApp was available on day one, the people who complained about insecurity would be the ones who most likely have the ability to develop their own "secure" alternative... if they wanted to. That said, those people who wanted a secure alternative would probably be allergic to WhatsApp and insist on using something like SilentCircle or whatnot.

The majority of people who picked up the N9 and just wanted to use WhatsApp would probably never have even signed up on TMO in the first place if that had happened
