Abstract
A cellular telephone for improved transmission includes a housing body that is shaped with a curvature so that a front face of the body is convex. A flip pivotally mounted to a bottom end of the body is correspondingly shaped so that the flip is pivotable between a closed position covering the front face, and an open position extended from the body. An antenna is mounted to the top end of the body and extends therefrom. When the flip is in the open position, the body and flip define an S-shaped profile which results in the antenna being spaced away from and oriented away from the user which avoids interference with the user for better transmission.
