Abstract

A hand-held wireless communications device operates in a communications mode and a stereo mode. The device comprises a housing, a long-range transceiver within the housing to communicate with a base station in the communications mode, and a receiver within the housing to receive radio signals from a broadcast radio station when the device is in the stereo mode. The broadcast radio station may transmit, for example, AM or FM signals to the and-held device. A controller within the housing generates control signals to place the device in the communications mode and the stereo mode, and selectively controls a plurality of speakers to render audio signals as audible sound. The plurality of speakers includes a pair of longitudinally-spaced speakers disposed opposite each other on the housing of the hand-held device.
