Benefits of technology

[0003] An aspect of the present invention involves the use of a small profile component socket that allows substantially perpendicular insertion of the removable memory device relative to the PCB of the handheld electronic device. The small profile component socket allows the width and / or length of the PCB to be smaller and / or accommodate additional electronics / elements. This arrangement results in a smaller, more-compact handheld electronic device.

Problems solved by technology

A problem with utilizing an external removable memory device with handheld electronic devices is that the socket that receives the external memory device takes up a large amount of space, making the handheld electronic device larger than desired.

Abstract

A wireless communication device includes a housing including a front, a rear, a top, a bottom, a left side, and a right side, and a printed circuit board carried by the housing and carrying electronics for operation of the wireless communication device. The printed circuit board defines a plane, and a socket is disposed in the housing and connected to the circuit board. The socket is configured to allow substantially perpendicular receipt of a removable memory device relative to the plane defined by the printed circuit board, in a manner such that the socket defines a plane substantially perpendicular to the plane defined by the printed circuit board.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates, in general, to handheld electronic devices utilizing a removable memory device, and, in particular, to handheld wireless communication devices utilizing a removable memory device. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Handheld electronic devices such as wireless communication devices (e.g., cellular handsets) hold most of the device electronics on a printed circuit board (PCB). A constant need exists to reduce the size of the electronics and other PCB elements and to reduce the size of the PCB in an effort to make the handheld electronic devices smaller and more convenient to use. A problem with utilizing an external removable memory device with handheld electronic devices is that the socket that receives the external memory device takes up a large amount of space, making the handheld electronic device larger than desired. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003] An aspect of the present invention involves the use of a small profile c...
