A housing arrangement for a mobile communication device comprises first and second housing sections connected together and movable relative to one another between open and closed positions. The first housing section includes a display that is substantially concealed by the second housing section in a closed configuration. The second housing section includes a window that reveals a portion of the display in the closed configuration. In the open configuration, a touch sensitive input is accessible through the window in the second housing section.

Charging devices for handheld radiotelephones, are provided that are convertible between a desk mounted configuration and a wall mounted configuration. A charging device includes a wedge-shaped lower housing portion and a wedge-shaped upper housing portion that can be rotated relative to each other. A cradle is disposed within the upper housing portion that is configured to support a radiotelephone. The lower and upper housing portions are adapted to be matingly secured together in a first orientation relative to one another so that a radiotelephone is maintained in an upright position when a charging device is supported by a horizontal surface, such as a desktop. In addition, the lower and upper housing portions are adapted to be matingly secured together in a second orientation relative to one another so that a radiotelephone is maintained in an upright position when a charging device is supported by a vertical surface, such as a wall.
