Samsung are very fortunate in the United States in the country and Motorola smartphones iPhone. FBI agents and staff will use the Galaxy to their operations. Currently and in the past FBI use BlackBerry for investigative activities, communications and spy. Is the iPhone upset to hear this news?

Samsung reportedly will soon sign a deal to sell the Galaxy to the Federal Bureau of Investigation United States (FBI). Agreement with the FBI predicted Samsung could help boost sales of products to clients in need of high security, such as financial services companies, banks and law firms. Are the CIA, Densus 88 (Indonesian Anti Terorrism Force) and agencies such as Interpol will also follow the steps for using the Samsung Galaxy like the FBI?

Currently there are more than 350 thousand employees of the FBI using a BlackBerry smartphone as a primary device.

BlackBerry only emphasizes that his operating system is the best in the market in terms of security features. While the Chief Legal Officer Steve Zipperstein BlackBerry commented that: "At present, mobile device security is more important than ever. Then it is natural to ask why people are considering a move from the gold standard in terms of security that is currently owned by the BlackBerry platform,”

The agreement between the FBI with Samsung is certainly surprising BlackBerry. The question is why the FBI did not use the original production of the United States, Motorola or iPhone? Motorola will soon launch a new product, Motorola X is claimed to be more sophisticated. Motorola certainly able to make software on smartphones is safe and reliable by the FBI, as well as Apple's iPhone sure can make new iPhone 6 with a high level of security.
