Abstract

Provided is a portable communication device, specifically a portable wireless device which is thin while maintaining excellent reception sensitivity even when the device is laid on a metal top panel. As such device (100), a foldable portable cellular phone (100) is provided with a battery box (117) opened on the side of a rear surface (115), and a circuit board (121) having an antenna power feed point (124) is arranged inside a lower case (114). The battery box (117) is covered with a battery cover section (140) removably attached to the lower case (114). The battery cover section (140) is formed of a member having conductivity, and attached to the lower case (114) by having contact point members (151, 152) in between for carrying a current to a reinforcing conductive plate (125) which is to be a GND layer of the circuit board (121). The battery cover section (140) attached to the lower case (114) is electrically connected to the reinforcing conductive plate (125) by making the battery cover section abut to contact point members (151, 152).
