Abstract
A mobile communication device and linkage mechanism are provided to enable an opened position of the device which is less than the total length of the lid and base members. In the opened position, a portion of the lid member overlaps the base member. The linkage mechanism may actuate translational movement of the lid member as the device is moved between the closed and opened positions.
