I don't think that's correct. I was going off of WhisperSystem's announcement[0] where they say:
"Your messages may already be encrypted. The most recent WhatsApp Android client release includes support for the TextSecure encryption protocol, and billions of encrypted messages are being exchanged daily."
It's not clear to me at all from that quote - I want to know that my communication is encrypted end-to-end, not that it may be encrypted. The rest of their statement is marketing speak.
(Not negative toward you, of course; you're just quoting)
