BlackBerry may have finally realized that branching out is the way to go. In years past BlackBerry, and previously Research In Motion, has been reluctant to open up their business to third parties. Whether it was resistance to opening up their enterprise servers, or refusing to sell off their BlackBerry 10 platform, BlackBerry has always tried to figure it out in house. Now though it seems aircraft manufacturer Boeing is giving them a chance at some extra revenue.

Boeing and BlackBerry have penned a deal to develop an ultra-secure smartphone, which sounds right up BlackBerry's alley. The new smartphone will be called the Boeing Black, and will run on the Android platform. It will be mainly designed for use by security and defense professionals.

The new super secure smartphone is practically a phone built for a spy. The phone will be tamper proof, using epoxy and screw head coverings to deter and detect any attempt to take a part, repair, or otherwise tamper with the smartphone. Not only that, but there are expected to be built in functions to self-delete all stored data should tampering of any kind be detected.

There are not too many details regarding the specific design and specs of the Boeing Black, as security practices have most of the details under wraps. But the phones tamper proof systems along with its dual-SIM card slots which allow users to switch between networks at ease, leave no doubt that this is an ultra-secure smartphone. The Boeing Black will feature top of the line encryption and is built with true security in mind.

Currently BlackBerry is 8% up today on the news though it looks like they won't be breaking the $15 mark in 2014. The road to recovery for BlackBerry will be rocky at best, but CEO John Chen is determined to turn the company around.
