We've been seeing plenty of financial results and now it's Motorola's turn. Along with their Q4 and full year report, Moto also included an update on the merger with Google in their press release.
Let's start with the financial side of things first. Motorola Mobility reported net revenues of $3.4 billion in the fourth quarter of 2011 and a net loss of $80 million (compared to a net earnings of $80 for the previous year's Q4). The mobile phone department accounts for $2.5 billion of the revenues (up 5% year on year) and an operating loss of $70 million.

Motorola shipped 10.5 million phones during the three months period, 5.3 million of which were smartphones. There were also 200,000 tablets shipped during the quarter. Over the whole year, the numbers are 42.4 million phones in total, of which 18.7 million were smartphones, plus 1 million tablets. That's an improvement over 2010, when they shipped 37.3 million phones.
