(InfoWorld) - Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications plans to make an announcement Wednesday about its strategy for the UIQ interface that runs on the Symbian mobile phone operating system, Sony Ericsson President Miles Flint said Sunday at a news briefing on the eve of the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona. Last week, Sony Ericsson completed the acquisition of UIQ Technology, the Swedish company that develops and manages the platform used by the handset maker for its smart phones. Since the acquisition, rumors have been floating as to whether Sony Ericsson will change the direction of the platform. The manufacturer has built the majority of UIQ-based smart phones on the market. UIQ will operate as an independent subsidiary and continue to be licensed on equal terms to all its licensees, Sony Ericsson said after the acquisition. UIQ, formerly known as User Interface Quartz, is a graphical user interface layer that provides additional components to the core Symbian OS, to enable the development of feature-rich mobile phones that are open to expanded capabilities through third-party applications. The 3GSM World Congress runs through Thursday.

Sony Ericsson will begin selling its first phone using Windows Mobile software this year, Microsoft was due to announce on Sunday, just ahead of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.Until now, Sony Ericsson has primarily used the Symbian operating system to power its smart phones. Its Windows Mobile phone will have a touch screen with a slide-out keyboard and a camera, said Brian Arbogast, vice president of mobile services at Microsoft.While Apple&#39;s iPhone has spurred wider interest in touch-screen phones, Sony Ericsson has been selling touch-screen phones for years. It uses the UIQ user interface on its Symbian phones. UIQ competes with Series 60, the user interface Nokia developed to run on its Symbian phones.Sony Ericsson joins HTC, Motorola, Palm, Samsung, and others selling phones that use Windows Mobile.Microsoft said the Sony Ericsson device should be available to end-users this year, and that examples of it will be on display at the conference in Barcelona. Sony Ericsson was not available to offer more details. It has scheduled a conference call Monday to discuss the announcement.&quot;We&#39;re excited about them bringing their entertainment expertise and experience and brand to a device that has all the benefits of Windows Mobile,&quot; Arbogast said.Sony Ericsson will likely continue to sell Symbian phones in addition to the Windows Mobile handset, a common practice among mobile-phone developers. For example, Motorola sells Windows Mobile, Symbian and Linux phones, while Palm sells Windows Mobile phones as well as handsets that use its own operating system.Nokia, the number-one handset maker in the world, does not make Windows Mobile phones, but it uses Linux to power handheld computers, in addition to its wide use of Symbian.The Sony Ericsson phones could help Microsoft further a recent effort to position Windows Mobile phones, which are primarily seen as tools for business users and attractive to consumers. Sony Ericsson makes phones with its Walkman music players and Cybershot cameras, featuring brands that are well-known to consumers.Rumors circulated late last year that the handset maker had begun manufacturing a Windows Mobile phone that would ship in the second half of this year. At the time, Sony Ericsson would not confirm the plans.Windows Mobile is in a distant second place behind Symbian in market share among mobile operating systems. In the fourth quarter 2007, Symbian was used in 65 percent of smart phones sold worldwide, according to recent research from Canalys. Microsoft had 12 percent of phones sold, followed by Research In Motion with 11 percent.The Mobile World Congress, formerly called 3GSM, starts Monday in Barcelona.
