<p>NEW YORK (Reuters) - Boeing Co (BA.N) on Wednesday unveiled a smartphone that appears to come straight from a James Bond spy movie.</p><p>In addition to encrypting calls, any attempt to open the casing of the Boeing Black Smartphone deletes all data and renders the device inoperable.</p><p>The secure phone marks an extension of the communications arm of the Chicago-based aerospace and defense contractor, which is best known for jetliners and fighter planes.</p><p>Such a phone might have prevented damage to Washington's diplomacy in Ukraine from a leaked telephone call. A senior U.S. State Department officer and the ambassador to Ukraine apparently used unencrypted cellphones for a call about political developments in Ukraine that became public.</p><p><a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/02/27/us-boeing-phone-idUSBREA1Q04K20140227">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57619608-94/boeings-black-smartphone-will-deactivate-if-tampered-with/">Boeing&#039;s &#039;Black&#039; smartphone will deactivate if tampered with</a> (CNET)</p><p><a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/mess-boeings-smartphone-destruct/story?id=22701080">Mess With Boeing&#039;s New Smartphone And It Will Self-Destruct</a> (ABC News)</p><p><a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303801304579407410484115536.html">Boeing Readies a Secure Smartphone</a> (Wall Street Journal)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=de2Hic-FykI_obMU72M7fi5SLVv3M&authuser=0&ned=us">189 additional articles.</a></p>
