Following too many quarters of red ink-stained balance sheets, Motorola (NYSE: MOT) has today posted a profit. Motorola’s Q2 2009 saw a net profit of million, an increase from million in the previous year’s Q2. Compared to Motorola’s Q1 loss of 1 million, the company’s fortunes seem to have come around. Part of the profits for Q2 can be attributed to lower operating costs and less cash-burning by Motorola’s mobile phone division, which lost 3 million on revenue of .8 billion.

Motorola is still planning to bring new smartphones to market by the holiday shopping season. With Motorola’s Android smartphones leaking left and right, it’s evident that Motorola’s mobile arm is betting on the still-new smartphone operating system to help stabilize the company’s dwindling market share. With a little luck (and a whole bunch of good designs), Motorola will soon be selling considerably more than the 14.8 million handsets it shipped in Q2 2009.
