Abstract

A wireless communication device, such as a cellular telephone (2), and a method of displaying information on such a device are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the wireless communication device includes a primary exterior surface (6) having first and second dimensions (26, 28), and first and second secondary exterior surfaces (14, 16, 18, 20) each having at least one respective dimension (24) that is substantially less than each of the first and second dimensions. The first and second secondary exterior surfaces (14, 16, 18, 20) are substantially non-coplanar relative to one another and with respect to the primary exterior surface (6), and each of the first and second secondary exterior surfaces includes a respective display portion (8). In at least some additional embodiments, the display portions (8) are capable of displaying information (40) in a streaming manner, and/or capable of accepting input commands from an operator (42) when the operator touches the display portions.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 01 July 2008 (01.07.08)CLAIMSWE CLAlM:
