  摩托罗拉最近宣布,第三财季盈利增至4亿7900万美元,销售额较上年同期大幅增长26%,达到86亿2000万美元,所有主要业务部门的销售均有所增长。展望未来财季的前景时摩托罗拉预计,第四财季的业绩将达到华尔街的平均预期。

Mobile handset maker Motorola has unveiled a fourfold increase in quarterly profits, crediting strong demand for its new-look phones.

Motorola said earnings for the three months to September came in at $479m (£268m), up from $116m in the same period last year.

Sales also rose, climbing to $8.62bn from $6.83bn one year earlier. The increase reflected the successful launch of 17 new handset models with colour displays and built-in cameras. Motorola's mobile phones division - its largest single business - accounted for the bulk of its profits, generating some $390m in operating earnings. Its semiconductor business notched up operating earnings of $82m, while sales rose 17% on the year to $1.4bn. Chief executive Ed Zander said the company's future prospects looked "pretty solid and optimistic". "We have the best product line-up we've had in a long time," he said. The company, the world's second biggest mobile handset maker after Finland's Nokia, is hoping to narrow the gap with its arch rival in the months ahead. Nokia's share of the global market dipped earlier this year after the firm fell behind in launching popular new 'clamshell' models. But the Finnish giant said in September that third quarter sales were progressing better than expected, helped in part by a wave of new products.
