Slideshow: Scenes from the CTIA Wireless show floor

NEW ORLEANS--As usual, there was plenty to look at here on the CTIA Wireless show floor. Though a number of companies, including Nokia, Alcatel-Lucent and others, decided not to purchase booth space, other companies stepped into the breach to offer their own wares, sights and sounds. And though this year's collection of booths didn't quite offer the extravagance of year's past, there was still plenty to take in.
