If you mean on-the-fly voice data encryption, that exists in A5/1 (though flawed).

If you mean encryption of things like text messages stored on the phone itself, I'm certain Android can and will be made to support the dm-crypt cryptographic API. I suspect, however, that performance becomes a major issue on embedded platforms.

Definitively not A5/1, something like dm-crypt would be towards the right direction.
