A hinge assembly, and an associated method, for hingedly connecting separate body portions, such as first and second housing portions of a mobile station, theretogether. The hinge assembly provides multiple axes of rotation including, at least, a transversely-extending axes and a longitudinally-extending axis. The hinge assembly includes a first hinge piece and a second hinge piece, associated, respectively, with the first and second body portions. The hinge pieces are coupled theretogether by a bearing that permits rotational movement about a longitudinally-extending axis. And, at least one of the hinge pieces is hingedly-connected to a body portion with which the hinge piece is associated to permit rotational movement about a transversely-extending axis.
