<p>A hand-held wireless communications device (10) operates in a communications mode and a stereo mode. The device comprises a housing (12), a long-range transceiver (36) within the housing (12) to communicate with a base station (64) in the communications mode, and a receiver (48) within the housing (12) to receive radio signals from a broadcast radio station (76) when the device (10) is in the stereo mode. The broadcast radio station (76) may transmit, for example, AM or FM signals to the hand-held device. A controller (30) within the housing (12) generates control signals to place the device (10) in the communications mode and the stereo mode, and selectively controls a plurality of speakers (28, 56, 57) to render audio signals as audible sound. The plurality of speakers (28, 56, 57) includes a pair of longitudinally-spaced speakers (28, 56) disposed opposite each other on the housing (12) of the hand-held device (10).</p> |
