Improved Mobile device and method

Abstract

A method of controlling a mobile communication terminal comprises the steps of sensing (201) a touch on a touch sensitive display, determining (203) a type of implement having provided the sensed touch on the touch sensitive display, where the type of implement is one of at least a blunt type and a pointed type. Depending on the determined type of implement, user interface elements of a first spatial configuration are displayed (207) when the determined type of implement is the pointed type and user interface elements of a second spatial configuration are displayed (209) when the determined type of implement is the blunt type.
