Abstract

The invention relates to a communication appliance comprising a main module (HM) provided with a main module front surface (HFF) on which a first keyboard (T1) is arranged. Said communication appliance (MFG) also has a keyboard module (TM) which is connected to the main module in such a way that it can be displaced in relation to the same, and a keyboard module front surface (TFF) on which a second keyboard (T2) is arranged. The inventive communication appliance also comprises a display module (AM) which is connected to the main module in such a way that it can be displaced in relation to the same, and a display module front surface (AFF) having a display element (AE). In order to ensure that the communication appliance has a small volume in a packed or closed state, the keyboard module and the display module can be displaced towards the main module.
