Dear Robert, if you take apart a phone (any phone), you can always work-around thi problem by making a short electrical de-tour between a mic and the board -> a little switch between mic and board will do it fine and you need only some nice small switch what you can hide somewhere on the side of the phone from inside with easy access. (like original side-buttons on some phones) You only need some experience e.g. in building little plastic models:-) If you are really paranoic, dont't forget to do the same with the speaker also! Than it doesn't matter it anyone "bugs" into your phone. They hear nothing until you press the switch. They would hear everything anyway when you make a call... This phone will have a unique security options even without that small switch. It appears to be the most expensive piece of HW on every phone. (every company is removing the small switches from the side of their phones:-( )
