Abstract

This invention is an apparatus and method for orienting an image (402, 404) on a display (116) of a wireless communication device (100). The device includes a housing (102) for supporting the display and an electronic circuit (502, 508, 512) coupled to the display to rotate the image on the display upon activation. In addition, the device has a second display (514) to provide a second image. The wireless communication device also includes a transceiver circuit (506) positioned in the housing to receive an incoming signal via wireless communication so that the display may provide the image based on the incoming signal.
