I wouldnt be happy if the army started using software that was made in Korea/russia/afgan
out of interest nokia.... why not? Software manufacturers in first world countries e.g. US, UK, most of europe etc are just as likely to miscode/introduce bugs/trojans/whatever as programmers in those countries you've listed. Sure I know the governments of Korea, Russia and Afghanistan might be a bit dubious at times... but is that any different for the US, UK etc? I think not.

Incidentally... nokia I really wouldn't hold up british army procurement as a model for something being good at the moment (not saying 2k isn't good mind ).... they spend money like water on some things

I think Pooh and Slarty both have very valid points - I think a partial open source implementation would be the best course
