Double-acting communication device

A portable communication device (4) comprises an outer covering (10, 11) that is adapted to be unfolded by actions of the user into an unfolded position. A telephone user interface has first parts (5, 6, 7, 8, 9) designed for interaction between a user and the device, and a second user interface has second parts (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17). Parts (5, 6, 7, 8, 9) of the telephone user interface are located on the outer surface of both a top half and a bottom half of said outer covering (10, 11), so that they are adapted to be used without unfolding said outer cover. The second user interface (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17) is located inside said outer covering (10, 11), so that it can be used when said outer covering is unfolded. A majority of the heaviest structural parts of the portable communication device are located within said bottom half, so that in an unfolded position the portable communication device is adapted to be balanced on the bottom half against an even surface.
