Abstract
Radiotelephone terminal with dual-sided keypad apparatus. A radiotelephone terminal includes a hinged flip cover with keypad apparatus that enables the receipt of tactile input on both sides of the flip. The keypad apparatus may be a single keypad that is dual-sided, and thus can receive input on either side, or the flip may be assembled with two keypads installed back-to-back within the flip. The keypads may be either of, or a combination of, non-contacting keypads or contacting keypads, and may include buttons and/or gesture areas.
