...The phone is also extraordinarily waterproof, thanks to a nano-coating on the internals...
An actual secure device would have all components encased in potting epoxy with a dedicated, unchangeable SIM assigned at the factory. HSM's are built to be difficult to crack, as well as impossible to physically intrude on (if you pull the epoxy, the crypto chip self-destructs.
Likewise, if you're going to yell 'we're secure!' the last thing you want to do is install Android on it. You have a purpose-built OS. Bonus points if the OS is built to a high EAL.
There's really no secure phone out there. They all have bugs and problems. The closest thing you can physically pick up and use today would have to be Blackberry. They have superb phone hardware, and fast and well-designed OS, runs Android applications in secure memory, and has dedicated secure hardware built into the motherboard.
Turing phone might be a lot of things, but it's not secure.
