A portable communication device (,) that has a processing section (,) to control operation of the portable communication device (,) in response to an input signal (TS_INPUT) and a user interface having a touch sensitive input device (,) for generating the input signal (TS_INPUT), also has a sensor (,). The sensor (,) disables the touch sensitive input device (,) from generating the input signal (TS_INPUT) when the portable communication device (,) is positioned in close proximity to a user and, thereby, preventing inadvertent actuations while the user holds the portable communication device (,) against his or her head to facilitate communication.
