Abstract
A telephone handset has a flat satellite antenna mounted thereon, the antenna being movable between a first position, in which the antenna is parallel to and contacting a main portion of the handset, and a second position, in which the satellite antenna faces in generally the same direction as a top surface of the main portion. A cover portion is mounted on a side of the main portion opposite to the satellite antenna and movable between an open position and a closed position to provide, with the satellite antenna, a compact three-fold configuration.
