Some of you are likely familiar with Erik Prince, Navy SEAL and founder of Blackwater. One of his latest ventures is the Unplugged Phone (or UP Phone) which is being marketed as the ultimate privacy-focused smartphone, engineered by top cybersecurity experts. As a cybersecurity expert in his own right, our CIO Adam Callen decided to purchase one of these and give you his honest first thoughts. This is part one, as we hope to expand upon this review further once Adam uses it to replace his other devices and sees how it holds up.
