Would you buy a self destructing 'black phone'? If yes, you are in luck! BlackBerry Ltd is working with Boeing Co on Boeing's high-security Android-based smartphone.

The Boeing Black phone being developed by Boeing, the Chicago-based aerospace and defense contractor, which is best known for jetliners and fighter planes, can 'self-destruct' if it is tampered with.

According to reports, the Boeing Black phone is meant to be a super high-tech device targetted at Government agencies, though would be available to others that need to keep communications and data secure.

"We're pleased to announce that Boeing is collaborating with BlackBerry to provide a secure mobile solution for Android devices utilizing our BES 12 platform," BlackBerry CEO John Chen said on a conference call held to discuss its quarterly results.

"That, by the way, is all they allow me to say." Chen added.

The BlackBerry Enterprise Service, or BES 12, will allow clients such as corporations and government agencies to manage and secure not just BlackBerry devices on internal networks, but those that run on rival operating systems such as Google's Android and Apple's iOS.

The Boeing phone uses dual SIM cards to enable it to access multiple cell networks and can be configured to connect with biometric sensors and satellites. Boeing has begun offering the phone to potential customers, so we expect a soon to be announced release date for BlackBerry / Boeing black phone.
