IOS was my best friend, but then she took up with NSA.  She didn't tell me but I found out.

If privacy is a major concern the black phone looks to hold some promise..

I had iPhone 3s when it came out, at 1st i was happy, but then problems started, so after some time I throw it in the garbage ( it worked to some degree ) and bought Note one, never even had a slightest regret, now I have Note 3 and I'm even more happy

I've had my battered iPhone 3s for nearly three years, but once it dies I wont be going back to Apple.

Android is as stupid as iOS in terms of privacy.... You should go with CyanogenMod.

I switched too about a year ago, Samsung makes way better stuff than Apple in my opinion

I think Samsung uses too many cheap materials. Most parts of their phones are made of plastic.

+1
Basically it's a main complain from my side at least. This and the HUGE size of the devices - Apple phones fit in the hand perfectly.

Cyanogenmod IS Android, just with various alterations and additions.

I have a rooted s3, but can't recall if I used cyanogenmod.  How would you figure out? And why might cyanogenmod be more secure?

iOS and Windows: true
Android: Depends on which rom you use and if you use Google services
Ubuntu and Firefox: pretty safe, you can never know 100% for sure but those 2 I trust the most.

I hope my next phone will be a Ubuntu phone, too bad the edge didn't make it.

It's the inside that counts 

But Samsung is notorious for their Samsung-plastic indeed, didn't bothered me on my tab though.
But enough other Android phone manufacturers that don't make use of cheap plastic if it bothers you.

It's clearly different than my rooted 4.1, but as it is time for an upgrade anyway, I'll do it.

But after reading all those docs, I don't see anything about security....

After these privacy issues on the desktop OS, you still want an Ubuntu Phone?

It's about privacy, not security. Google apps/services could spy on you, because they are proprietary and not open source like most of Android itself.

Don`t you just hate the microtransactions... NSA is like a kitten next to that...
