Zusammenfassung:A portable communication device (100) comprises a first housing element (202) and a second housing element (204), wherein the second housing element (204) is movingly connected to the first housing element (202) such that the second housing element (202) is settable to substantially three positions. A sensor (112) coupled to the first housing element (202) and the second housing element (204) produces a position signal to indicate the position of the second housing element (204) relative to the first housing element (202), and an activation element (230) produces an activation signal in response to a user input. A controller (106) operates the portable communication device (100) in one of a standby mode, a private-mode, and a speakerphone mode in response to the position signal and the activation signal.
