camera being exposed in a longitudinal direction of the lens housing; a second
housing including an upper portion having a phone LCD and a phone keypad with a
plurality of keys and a lower portion having a PDA touch screen, the PDA touch
screen being adjacent to the planar surface in the phone operation mode, the phone
keypad and the phone LCD being adjacent to the planar surface in the PDA operation
mode; and a biaxial hinge unit for connecting the second housing to said first
housing to allow said second housing to rotate about two perpendicular axes with
respect to the first housing.
