A self-cradling type portable communication terminal, comprising:
- a body;
- a folder;
- a first hinge unit mounted on an upper surface of the body for rotatably connecting the folder to the body, thereby providing a semi-automatic opening and closing force;
- a rotatable socket mounted on a bottom surface of the body, the rotatable socket having a second hinge axis to be parallel with a first hinge axis, and rotatably connected to the body by a second hinge unit being adjacent to the first hinge unit;
- and
- a power supply unit detachably attached to the rotatable socket in parallel, and rotating in a direction toward or away from the body while facing the bottom surface of the body, wherein a free end of the power supply unit contacts the ground for slantingly supporting the body.
