I use IE, opera, and skyfire for broswers, I dont use skyfire for anything but surfing.

What brought my concern on is that I was working at a customers house and he had a scanner on that intercepted phone calls. Very disturbing but Very Very intertaining. In this fairly small town I found out in a very short time some very intimate happenings of local intrest. I since am now watching what I say over the phone, but if voice is vulnerable so isnt data?
data will always be accessible. when we create something to block it someone will find a way to get around that.... you could still go with personal stuff over the internet but i would be sure to delete the cookies and all other important stored features from the phone. Voice off of phone is easier to intercept than data.. voice can be intercepted easily just like on a walki-talkie for example... all you need to know is the frequency and than your good... hope this helps a little bit for you.
