ABSTRACT:
A mobile station (102) comprises a body (106), a display (112), a keypad (114), a retractable antenna (108), a microphone (116), and a rotatable earpiece (110). The body (106) defines a front surface (118), a first side edge (122), a second side edge (124), a top end (126), and a bottom end (128). The display (112) and the keypad (114) are outwardly directed from the front surface (118). The microphone (116) is outwardly directed from the first side edge (122) and positioned near the bottom end (128). The retractable antenna (108) extends from the top end (126) and is positioned along an axis of the second side edge (124). The rotatable earpiece (110) is rotatably mounted along an axis of the first side edge (122) and positioned near the top end (126). When in a first position, the rotatable earpiece (110) is substantially planar with the body (106) and outwardly directed away from the front surface (118). When in a second position, the rotatable earpiece (110) is outwardly directed away from the first side edge (122).
