Stack-up configuration for a wireless communication device

A wireless communication device assembly comprising:

• a housing means comprising:
• an upper housing surface, a lower housing surface, and at least one side surface;
• at least one circuit board housed in the housing means comprising a top surface and a bottom surface, the at least one circuit board for holding processing circuitry;
• display means housed in the housing means adjacent the top surface of the housing;
• and
• a battery housed in the housing, and positioned between the display and the top circuit of the at least one circuit board.

A method for assembling a wireless communication device within a housing, comprising the steps of:

• attaching at least one circuit board with a plurality of electrical components in a bottom portion of the housing, the at least one circuit board comprising a upper surface and a lower surface;
• attaching a battery within the housing and above the top surface of the at least one circuit board;
• and
• attaching a display within the housing and above the battery.

A wireless communication device comprising:

• a power supply connected to a top surface of a circuit board, the power supply for powering electronic components of the wireless communication device, the power supply having a first surface adjacent the circuit board and a second surface substantially parallel to the first surface;
• the circuit board for holding a plurality of electrical circuits comprising radio frequency (RF) circuits for receiving and transmitting RF signals and processing circuits for controlling the electronic components;
• and
• a display connected to the circuit board and above the second surface of the power supply, the display controlled by the processing circuits.
