One of my friends uses K9 on his Samsung mobile phone; it works fine for him, allowing him to exchange GPG-encrypted emails with me. If you need more examples, I could ask on the (encrypted, Schleuder-based) internal mailing list of Digital Society Switzerland. > An encrypted mailing list won't help you much regardless of the > compromised nature of your device if you can't even read the > encrypted messages. ;) Personally I prefer to use my mobile phone for plain old telephony and SMS only; I lovingly refer to it as "my dumbphone". I believe that the risk of compromise is much, much lower than for Internet-connected smartphones, even without taking any special security precautions in relation to the dumbphone. By contrast, a laptop running Debian GNU/Linux can be kept secure enough for my needs without too much trouble even while communicating via the Internet with somewhat-trusted as well as with totally untrusted third parties. That is good enough for me, because I don't have a need to be online continually while awake; it suffices for me to be able to ensure that I'll be able to live up to a commitment of having promised 24hrs turn-around reaction time for anything that may be relatively urgent. A laptop computer is sufficiently mobile for ensuring that, as long as I don't travel to really remote areas.
