Abstract
A compact portable communication device (100, 700, 900, 1500) has a first housing section (110, 707, 910) and a second housing section (112, 702, 1512). A mechanical connector (314) connects the housing sections such that they move between a closed storage position and an open use position. The housing sections each engage the removable user interface card when attached in the open use position. The communication device can operate in the closed storage position to receive pages and radiotelephone calls. The communication device (100, 700, 900, 1500) is opened to receive a call. When opened, a removable user interface card (300, 922, 1100) having a keypad (302) thereon, can be inserted. The keypad (302) is used to enter a telephone number for an outgoing call.
