The two companies have worked together on UIQ version 3.0, which is included in Sonny Ericsson’s M600 messaging phone, P990 smartphone, and W950 Walkman phone.
Mats Lindoff, Chief Technology Officer at Sony Ericsson, acknowledges the importance of UIQ in boosting Ericsson’s capabilities. "UIQ offers excellent technical flexibility enabling us to provide compelling features such as push email, internet browsing, end user personalization, and enhanced music applications.
