The stylish and super-secure Blackphone 2 goes for pre-order ahead of September launch

Smartphone owners are generally united in their concerns over security and privacy, and while the likes of Google and Apple develop their respective mobile platforms under the watchful eye of the consumer, flaws and security breaches come with the territory. BlackBerry has always prided itself on providing a secure environment, particularly for businesses, while Samsung's Knox has sought to bolster Google's Android in efforts to grab a slice of the enterprise pie. The Blackphone, as you may recall, was launched just over a year ago, touting a feature set almost as robust as its security credentials. Despite put-downs from BlackBerry, the Blackphone's sales pitch was apparently strong enough to warrant a sequel, and if you're in the market for a handset that goes that extra mile in the name of security, you'll be pleased to learn that the Blackphone 2 is now up for pre-order.
