Zusammenfassung:An information and/or communications device e.g. a mobile phone compromises a display 200, 300 and a data entry mechanism or keyboard 304, 204 located proximate to the display. In operation, the data entry mechanism 304, 204 is coupled to the device such that it overlaps a portion of the display 200, 300. In this manner, a reduced device length and/or volume device can be manufactured with substantially no, or minimal, reduction in the viewable display area or in the functionality of the keypad data entry mechanism. The mechanical design of the display and the data entry mechanism also provide significant strengthening to the mechanical structure of the device.
