Abstract: The invention relates to a configuration of an electronic apparatus that improves the utilization of the electronic apparatus. The better utilization is achieved by an apparatus including a body, a cover attached to the body, and a display part having a display, the display part being attached to the body and configured to slide between a first position and a second position such that when the display part is at rest in the first position, the cover overlaps at least a portion of the display, and when the display part is at rest in the second position, said portion of the display is visible.

Abstract: A keypad includes discrete keys formed by touch sensors or virtual keys on a touch sensitive area. The discrete or virtual keys are mechanically linked to a biased switch. The key that has been touched during a keystroke is identified through a signal from the touch sensors whilst a keystroke is recorded upon a signal from the biased switch. The combination of the touch sensors with a biased switch provides tactile feedback. The use of touch sensors or a touch sensitive area allows the keypad to be constructed with a substantially flush surface without parting lines.

Abstract: A handheld electronic device has a body that is substantially less thick than wide and long. The body has a user side with a user interface and which body defines an aperture through the body substantially perpendicular to the user side so as to provide a grip for holding the device. Also a method is disclosed in which a rod is inserted to the aperture so as to support the handheld electronic device in a backward tilted angle.
