Why on earth would you say "blackberry for security"?
Get an android device with an unlocked bootloader, encrypt the storage
I don't trust Google, but not that I trust other companies more. I know
they selll your data to the government without resistance. Choose the
phone for usability, price, aesthetics... personal company choice.
At the moment I have an iPhone, just because I really I don't like
Android, I am not implying it is more "secure". It is a very nice phone
to use, always works. But secure? don't let me think about it.
I think the phone as something not secure at all.
Also, what do you worry about, the internal storage? I have just some
pictures and messages there. The rest are just apps that access services.
If you access your mail or your facebook account, that's where the data
lives.
I just read that iMessage does end-to-end encryption, so theoretically
Apple shouldn't spy your messages. But mail? icloud vs. gmail? And then
maybe you enable (or forget to disable, with the new versions) cloud
sync of your pictures with apple or even Flickr. And then you can stop
worrying about your "phone".
If you don't want to use anything, browsers, mail, messages, then just
get a "dumb" phone.
If you phone through GSM/3G... those lines have always been tapped and
conversations spied.
