Abstract
An improved mobile electronic devicewith a unique thin and cost-effective form and design can have a large displayin the outward surface of a flip, a large full qwerty keypadin the outward surface of a base, and a touchpadin the inward surface of the flip. Advantageously, the mobile electronic device is movable to seven different orientations for providing different modes in partially open positions. The mobile electronic device can have a single accelerometer, such as located in the flip, or two accelerometerswith one accelerometer in the flip and one in the base, to accurately detect the orientation, flip angle, and mode of the mobile electronic device.
