Fewer Americans are buying new ear candy these days than they were a year ago, according to a newly-released NPD survey — but those that are still dropping coin are dropping more of it. An estimated 28 million cellphones came off shelves and into pockets in the second quarter of 2008, down a solid 13 percent year over year, but the increase in average handset price was nearly enough to offset the drop in volume altogether. Particularly notable was the fact that smartphone sales doubled in the past year, with full QWERTY models seeing the biggest gains; it’s probably still a bit early to sound the dumbphone’s death knell, but could it be on the horizon?

Who knew that AT&T’s customer base constituted an “emerging market”? Certainly not us, but Nokia’s 2680 slide — a phone Nokia itself said was targeted at so-called “replacement buyers” in emerging markets — has just been spotted all up in the FCC’s business bearing an AT&T logo front and center (well, actually, it’s toward the bottom, but you get our drift). It includes an FM radio, MP3 ringtone support, a low-end cam, and an unsubsidized price of €75 (about $114), so we suspect this’ll likely find a home on GoPhone. If it does end up on the postpaid roster, though, expect it be about as close to free as they come.
