You should add a way to "recycle" the used phones. Maybe a trade in program?

1. Making it even more secure and harder to track. One phone can be used by many people.

2. Keep cost down for the physical device.

We're actually working on all of the above right now.

We ended up rushing to get this to market due to the press news on the subject, so we ended up leaving out the things above -- but those are coming in the next week or two :)

The web site mentions that there will be a way to get phones and SIMs separately, so you could discard the SIM and keep the phone.
