Abstract: A compact device and method for communication and entertainment needs that include having interchangeable user-interfaces and combining various functions performed by different keypads and units into a single pad or unit. The device includes circuitry with transceiver capabilities, a chassis, a display, at least two Freestyle User-Interfaces (FUI) secured to the chassis that can rotate from an open position to a closed position, and a user-interface that provides the user with navigational control and image conversion. The method of interchanging at least two FUIs includes providing a chassis for securely holding the circuitry, rotatably securing the user-interfaces to the chassis, coupling the user-interfaces to the circuitry, and removably securing opposite ends of an elastic piece to each of the user-interfaces.
