<p>A mobile phone having a housing or portion thereof that is configured to receive and retain a user insertable image such that the image is viewable by a user. In an embodiment, the image is concealed from view under certain conditions. In the absence of such conditions the image can be viewed by the user. The housing or portion thereof appears similar to any other portion of the housing of the phone except when the image is viewable. The housing or portion thereof can be configured to conceal a regular photograph, for example. Thus, the invention allows economical customization of a phone with unique images without having to provide an additional electronic display. Existing phones can be retrofitted, for example, with a battery cover (or other removable member) embodying the features of the invention.</p> |
