Hey brother, there are nothing except Chinese-manufactured phones in the world nowdays.
One can only hope the rogue code is in the OS layer and not on any of the firmware blobs...

Yup. I know. It's hopeless.. Don't know if its reassuring but I think Apple was considering manufacturing some phones in US. Will Nokia ever manufacture phones in Finland again? Anyways, was wondering.
Are there any good apps that monitor network traffic on Android phones so one could check on this?
EDIT:Just found this.

You need root (I have). Maybe there are some that that don't require root?
Also is there an equivalent app for N900, Harmattan based phones or Jolla? If not, that would be nice to do for the Developer Regatta.

Well, if Big-D is true to his word, Apple will certainly make all the devices it wants to sell in the good-old-US-of-A locally.
Nokia? nope, there will never be a Nokia-made mobile phone again. Not in Finland, not in China.
The problem is that if the baddie is done right, any local network monitor won't see a byte gone astray. Your device could be spewing a constant stream of tens of kBps and the monitoring software would show a flat zero going out
The only way to see something wrong would be an external monitor in your WLAN or in the gateway behind your WLAN. And again, if the baddie was done right it would only send via cellular, being dead quiet when connected only via WLAN
There are of course ways to cut to this problem, too, but it requires equipment that rarely is available to general public; you need to either operate your own test network or connect the device to a cellular emulator.
I think all of those devices have some kind of traffic monitoring software, but there's always room to enhance and improve
