According to research firm Gartner, overall handset sales are expected to shrink by 4 percent this year compared to last year.

Nov. 6--Stock market investors were doing their best to look on the bright side today after the combined losses from Royal Bank of Scotland and British Airways reached £1.79 billion during the first six months of the year.
