NEC Corp. remained the top mobile-phone vendor for the ninth consecutive quarter, with sales up 34.3% to 2.66 million units in the first quarter.

Gartner said sales of camera-equipped handsets continued to grow and reached 74.5% of the total cell-phone handset sales in the first three months of this year. Continue >>
