Mobile phone sales start to slow

Worldwide sales of mobile phones will hit a billion next year but the days of massive growth could be over, says an industry report, according to the BBC .

''According to research firm Informa Telecoms and Media , the battle now will be persuading users to upgrade their phones regularly.

... Manufacturers are beginning to realise that there is more to a camera phone than megapixels. Nokia and SonyEricsson now offer software enabling users to upload images straight onto a personal weblog.

''Looking at how people use their digital cameras and the whole digital camera eco-system will be vital to gain revenue,'' said report author Dave McQueen.

... Getting TV on to mobiles will present new opportunities for operators and is likely to be the next big battleground for subscribers, despite questions remaining about how and if people will use such services''.
