PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily switch between a browser mode and an e-mail mode with a reduced number of key operations. SOLUTION: When an operator depresses an e-mail mode selection key 6b in a standby mode, a screen transits to an e-mail mode, a control section 2 allows a display section 7 to display a menu selection screen of an e-mail, and after this, for example, the operator writes an e-mail while looking at the display screen. When the operator depresses a mode switching key 6d during writing an e-mail to refer to the contents of a certain web site, the screen transits to the browser mode, the section 2 allows the section 7 to display a menu selection screen of the browser, for example, the operator reads the web site after inputting a corresponding a URL. The operator depresses the key 6d in the browser mode, the screen switches to the e-mail mode to return to the screen during writing the e-mail, and thus, the operator can continue to write the e-mail.
