Earlier this week a handful of stores either opened late or closed early.” It is a difficult time not only for the mobile phones (http://www.foneshop.com) Reports and analysis earlier last week suggested that the mobile phones (http://www.foneshop.com) industry would sell over 500 million handsets in the coming calendar year.
