ABSTRACT:
A wireless communication handset (100), or other electrical device, having a housing disposed about electrical communications circuitry. At least a portion of the housing, for example a bezel (144) or keypad area (148) comprising a variable input responsive variable appearance portion, for example an electro-chromic material. A user operable control circuit coupled to the electro-chromic material portion of the housing, whereby a color of the electro-chromic material portion of the housing is variable by the color control circuit.
