Security via obscurity?

Any device that you can get your hands on is susceptible to exploits. The lock screens, et al... those are nice. But if I have access to a device, I'd not say that it's entirely safe by no stretch of the imagination.

Besides... where's the user rights exploits? The trojans? The browser exploits? iOS and Android have plenty of those. None so far for Sailfish.

I'd still not say it's "secure" but there's no USB connector on the Turing phone - well, there's the proprietary connector. But you're right about the lack of encryption.

Edit: Crap, didn't see the above post.
