Portable telephone with pivotally mounted keypad

摘要

The size of the display in a portable telephone apparatus (16) is increased by having a push-button keypad (30) located on the outside of a hinged flip member (28). A touch-sensitive display (24) is disposed in the main body of the apparatus so that when the hinged flip member (28) is in the closed position, any selection made from the keypad (30) is communicated to and contacts the touch-sensitive display (24) located below the keypad surface. <IMAGE>
