Abstract
A mobile communication terminal with dedicated keys for controlling an integrated functional component such as an audio player, in which the dedicated keys are situated at convenient positions for use. The mobile communication terminal includes a housing that accommodates parts which enable wireless communications with an external device and has an audio player therein. The terminal includes a control key assembly positioned on at least one lateral side of the housing to enable a user to operate the audio player. The position of the control key assembly assists the user in pressing the keys using his thumb, forefinger, middle finger and third finger. The position of the control key assembly also enables a wide auxiliary display to be positioned on the upper surface of the housing, e.g., on the outer surface of the upper housing.
