However, many users out there are lax in making sure their phones are secure. Sure, there are biometric protection systems, but is anyone else taking the next step?

Blackberry is. The name that is synonymous with secure communications recently announced that they are focusing into developing secure software for the Android marketplace, and the new DTEK60 is a great indication that whatever they are doing, they should continue doing so.
