Is the bloom off the rosy market for mobile phones? Probably not. But recent worldwide sales figures from Gartner should raise a yellow flag in the market.
According to the technology research company, 419.1 million mobile phones were sold in the world during the calendar quarter ending in March. That's a two percent drop from the same period in 2011 and the first time there's been a sales decline in the market since 2009, it said.
