Cell phone sales down, average price up in the US

US consumers just aren't buying cell phones like they once were, according to the NPD Group. Unit sales are at the lowest level since the firm started tracking them in 2005, although consumers do seem to be buying more expensive units.

The market research firm said today that recent surveys showed that only 28 million handsets were sold to consumers during the second quarter of this year, reflecting a 13 percent year-over-year decline.
