A smart card receiving assembly (302) for a handheld communication device (100) includes a housing (304), a release arm (306), and a smart card receiver (308). The housing (304) forms an access compartment (310) for receiving a battery (312) and a smart card (314). The release arm (306) is slidingly coupled to the housing (304) and includes an extension (602) extending downward. The smart card receiver (308) is adapted to receive a smart card (314) and includes a channel (804) adapted to receive the extension (602). The smart card receiver (308) can be made of metal to provide rigidity to the handheld communication device (100). When the release arm (306) is moved from a first position to a second position, the extension (602) can force the smart card (314) from a seated position to an unseated position with the smart card (314) sliding at least partially out of the smart card receiver (308) and into the access compartment (310). |
