Abstract
A mobile phone includes a lower housing having one and and the other end, an upper housing having one end pivotally connected to the lower housing, and an antenna accommodated close to one end of the lower housing. The other end of the upper housing pivots toward and away from the other end of the lower housing. The mobile phone is used in close proximity to a user's head with the other end of the upper housing being distanced from the other end of the lower housing. Upon use, the lower housing is disposed relative to the upper housing so that the upper housing intervenes between the antenna and the user's head.
