The invention is based on the task to indicate a mobile communication device, with which a multiple number of different operational modes and functions can be carried out and which can still be operated with only a few operating controls in an almost self-explanatory way. A portable communication device is provided with a display and a control block according to the invention, where operational modes, different and presettable by a user and/or based on the switching preset and self-adjusting are provided, whereby a specific allocation of the control block is defined for each operational mode and, according to the current operational mode, the appurtenant allocation of the control block is activated and an otherwise keyless control and navigation through the different operational modes of the device is provided. It enables the user of the communication device this way to control the functions and operational modes of the device by only some few operational controls of the control block and to thereby, mostly self-explanatory, have always access to-as much as the functionality of the current operational mode permits it-the same operational controls of the control block despite different operational modes. A design which is particularly appropriate for a user-friendly and easy operation, envisions that the control block comprises a swash-plate and a number of keys surrounding this swash-plate satellite-like.
