Hi!
These sites are always highly optimistic. However, there are some factors you have to take into consideration when choosing an encrypted mobile communication solution.
1. Real eavesdrop-proof enrcypted mobile communication systems can be build ONLY around special, unique hardware pieces (cryptocard, security card). However, using this kind of hardware alone does NOT GUARANTEE eavesdrop-proof communication.
2. Eavesdrop-proof communication can only be guaranteed with triple layer protection: a hardware protects the encryption keys - cryptochip -, a software protects against malware and spyware, and a unique encryption solution (non-standard!) provides eavesdrop-proof communication.

Have a nice day,

    Let's not forget that the governments in the USA & UK are very much in bed
with the industries that provide high tech devices through coercion and/or
contractual bribery.  You can check open-source software, yes, which I really
doubt that this is.  As far as hardware that it runs on, you'll never know if
it's secure or if there are back doors built in, unless you know a hell of a
lot about electronics and IC programming, testing, and diagnosis, or perhaps
intercepting and testing encrypted communication uplinks from your device.
    If you want true security, you're going to have to build the hardware
yourself.  Don't be an idiot.
