Research In Motion (RIM) today announced its 3rd quarter fiscal 2005 results. The company's quarter ended at the end of November. Here are the interesting figures:

  • $365.9 million in revenue, up 18% from previous quarter and up 138% from the same quarter of last year
  • Revenue breakdown: 71% for handhelds, 17% for service, 7% for software licences and 5% for other revenue.
  • Profit of $90.4 million (46 cents a share) compared to $16.33 million (10 cents a share) in the same quarter of last year.
  • BlackBerry subscribers increased by 387,000 in the quarter to approximately 2,044,000 subscribers.

Despite the solid numbers, shares of RIMM [RIMM] are trading down nearly 5% in after hours trading. RIM is still in the heat of a fierce patent court battle with NTP, so investors have more than quarterly reports to worry about.
