What is the average price of a mobile phone?

With cell phone saturation so high in developed nations, there isn't enough consumer need to drive market growth, said iSuppli principal analyst Scott Smyser. To attract customers in less-developed nations, such as China and India, cell phone companies must offer "ultra-low-cost mobile phones."

"Service providers are pushing to get the price below $30," Smyser said.

The average wholesale price of a mobile phone, the price paid to the manufacturer, will slip to $129 in 2006, a 9 percent drop from $142 in 2005, iSuppli said.
