Abstract
Mechanical and operational design considerations for the antenna, speaker and image capture functionalities, in a multi-media mobile communication device are combined and carried in a common shared antenna-speaker-image capture chamber. The common shared chamber permits greater focal lengths and larger optics packages compared to conventional multi-media communication devices with separate, individual chambers within the device.
