Abstract

A wireless mobile phone comprising a body casing having a top portion and a bottom portion is disclosed. The top portion has a first centerline substantially parallel to two sides of said top portion of the body. The first centerline reflects a positive acute angle with respect to a horizontal reference axis. The bottom portion has a second centerline substantially parallel to two sides of said bottom portion. The bottom portion has a negative acute angle with respect to said horizontal reference axis. An input keypad is disposed on the top portion, the input keypad has a plurality of column of keys that are aligned in a substantially linear manner in parallel to said first centerline. A display screen is disposed on the bottom portion where the display screen has a plurality of columns of pixels that are aligned in a substantially linear manner in parallel to the second centerline.

Claims

1. A wireless mobile phone comprising:

a curved body casing having a top portion and a bottom portion, said top portion having a first centerline substantially parallel to two sides of said top portion, said first centerline having a positive acute angle with respect to a horizontal reference axis and said bottom portion having a second centerline substantially parallel to two sides of said bottom portion, said bottom portion having a negative acute angle with respect to said horizontal reference axis;

an input keypad disposed on said top portion, the input keypad having a plurality of column of keys that are aligned in a substantially linear manner in parallel to said first centerline; and

a display screen disposed on said bottom portion, the display screen having a plurality of columns of pixels that are aligned in a substantially linear manner in parallel to said second centerline.

2. The wireless mobile phone of claim 1 further comprising an ear speaker internally disposed in said top portion.

3. The wireless mobile phone of claim 1 further comprising an antenna proximately disposed in said bottom portion.

4. The wireless mobile phone of claim 1 further comprising a transceiver internally disposed in said bottom portion.

5. The wireless mobile phone of claim 1 wherein the curved body casing has palm sized dimensions.

6. The wireless mobile phone of claim 1 wherein the wireless mobile phone is a digital type.

7. A wireless mobile phone comprising:

a body casing having a top portion and a bottom portion, said top portion having a first centerline substantially parallel to two sides of said top portion and said bottom portion having a second centerline substantially parallel to two sides of said bottom portion, said first centerline and said second centerline forming an obtuse angle;

an input keypad disposed on said top portion, the input keypads having a plurality of column of keys that are aligned in a substantially linear manner in parallel to said first centerline; and

a display screen disposed on said bottom portion, the display screen having a plurality of columns of pixels that are aligned in a substantially linear manner in parallel to said second centerline.

8. The wireless mobile phone of claim 7 further comprising an ear speaker internally disposed in said top portion.

9. The wireless mobile phone of claim 7 further comprising an antenna proximately disposed in said bottom portion.
