1.1 Billion Mobiles Sold Around the World in 2007

Is it possible to live on Planet Earth without a cell phone? The
answer would seem to be no, at least according to the cell-phone
industry and its analysts.

More than 1.1 billion mobile phones were sold around the world last
year, and developing countries in Africa and elsewhere should maintain
the momentum in 2008, according to a study released Thursday.
