Abstract
An improved mobile electronic devicewith a unique thin and cost-effective form and design can have a large displayand a large full qwerty keypadon the outward surface and can have a capacitive touchpadon the inward surface of the flipor slide that facilitates navigation on the display and can detect and recognize the flip or slide position within the mobile electronic device. A pattern of capacitive traces or wirescan be laid out within the layers of a printed circuit board to detect a user's finger gestures without enlarging or adversely impacting the size of the mobile electronic device. The attractive mobile electronic device can also provide for the use of a speaker portunderneath a removable battery doorand a way to seal a port under a battery door for audio enhancement.
