The company also forecast higher than expected revenue for the third quarter, sending its shares up 5.5 percent in after-hours trading. Schaumburg, Illinois-based Motorola said net income rose to $1.38 billion, or 55 cents a share, from $933 million, or 37 cents a share, a year ago. Revenue rose 29 percent to $10.88 billion from $8.41 billion."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Motorola.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/><br /><br />It looks like Motorola's cell phone division is doing really well with revenue growing by 46% to $7.14 Billion. 8O What's more, the Q seems to have a very strong start with 150,000 units sold in the first 30 days. Simply incredible. Good job Moto. I wonder what we can expect next? I sure hope it's not just new versions of the Q. Let's see some other innovative Smartphone designs! :)
