A mobile communication device comprising:
- a first device body having a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and being elongate in a lengthwise direction thereof;
- a second device body rotatably connected to the first device body by a hinge provided to a widthwise edge of the first device body so that the second device body can rotate about the hinge relative to the first device body to open and close with respect to the first device body;
- a keypad arranged on the second device body and exposed to the outside when the second device body is closed and faces the first device body;
- and
- first and second key array arranged on the first device body and exposed to the outside when the second device body is rotated and opened from the first device body.
A mobile communication device comprising:
- a first device body having a plurality of key arrays;
- and
- a second device body rotatably connected to the first device body so that the second device body can be rotated about a hinge relative to the first device body to face toward or face away from the first device body, and, when the second device body faces the first device body, a keypad arranged on a front surface of the second device body can be used, and, when the second device body is rotated to be opened with respect to the first device body, the key arrays are exposed to the outside to be manipulated using both hands of a user.
