I'm looking at the trezor wallets, why are they better than the Android app (with bugs ironed out) and a password secured phone?

Let's take it further and presume your browsing habits are avoided on the same cellphone.  I don't see why those aren't just a waste of money and ultimately confusing to a casual bitcoin user.

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.
