First Call has estimates at $0.35 EPS and  $15.34 Billion in revenues for Dell’s (DELL) last quarter. For the January 2008 quarter Wall St. is expecting numbers to be $0.38 EPS and $15.95 Billion.

Dell reported reported results for its third quarter of fiscal year 2008, with revenue up nine percent year-over-year to a record $15.6 billion, operating income up 13 percent to $829 million and earnings per share of $0.34, a 26 percent increase over the prior year..

In Asia-Pacific and Japan, where the company is actively expanding its presence, revenue in the quarter grew by 18 percent on a 20 percent increase in units. Highlights in the region include India and China where revenue grew 47 percent and 22 percent, respectively.

Globally, revenue from mobility products increased 19 percent on a 25 percent increase in units. Revenue from both servers and storage grew eight percent and shipments of servers increased seven percent
