(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.

(InfoWorld) - Responding to demand for ultra-thin designs, Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications has announced a new Walkman music phone -- its slimmest handset yet. The product is one of several announced Tuesday ahead of the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona next week. The W880 packs music features into its 9.4 millimeter-thin mobile phone design: the handset comes preloaded with Walkman Player 2.0, Disc2Phone music management and TrackID music recognition applications. A 1GB Memory Stick Micro (M2) card, capable of storing up to 900 tunes, is included in the box. The handset also features a 1.8-inch QVGA, 262k TFT (thin-film transistors) display, a 2 megapixel camera and the Bluetooth Music Receiver MBR-100 system. This discreet accessory uses short-range wireless technology to stream music from the user's phone directly to a home or car stereo, using the phone as a remote control to alter the volume or skip through tracks. In addition, the phone provides a flight mode for use on airplanes and is equipped with a battery capable of playing music up to 20 hours or offering 6.5 hours of talk time. The W880 music phone is based on the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) standard and supports both the GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) and 3G (third-generation) technologies. It offers a range of communication services, such as a push e-mail, Web surfing and video streaming. Sony Ericsson will also provide a GSM variant of the Walkman music phone, the W88, without video telephony capability, for the Chinese market. A slightly larger Walkman phone, minus a few features, is the W610. The W880 music phone will be available in selected markets in the first quarter, with the W610 to follow in the second quarter. Prices were not available. Among the other new products is a series of low-end, easy-to-use handsets, which Sony Ericsson calls "candy bar" phones. The K200 phone has a camera and a central navigation key to give one-click access to key features. The K220, another camera phone, has an integrated FM radio, which can store up to 10 stations. The J110 and J120 phones, which lack a camera, offer large legible keys and easy navigation.

Among a plethora of revamped handsets announced by Sony Ericsson this morning is one very thin Walkman phone that peeked out from behind the curtains at CES last month, and whose official announcement enthusiasts werenât expecting for maybe another three months. The handsome W880 is expected to replace the already successful W850 and W810, while reducing its profile to a mere 9.4 mm.

The shake of things to come? Review Sony Ericsson takes moving to the music literally with its motion-sensor based âshake controlâ track-changing gadgetry. But thereâs far more to the HSDPA 3G-enabled Walkman W910i phone than slick moves.â¦

How the mighty has fallen... Review Announced almost a year ago, Sony Ericsson's flagship smart phone, the P990i, is finally making its way into the shops. Over four generations - the first, a larger device codenamed 'Linnea' never made it to market - the P series has become the single most popular smart phone design in the world, largely because Sony Ericsson succeeded in combining a multi-tasking pen tablet PDA with a phone that felt very natural to use one-handed. This popularity is helped, of course, by Sony Ericsson only making one a year rather than throwing dozens of models at the market, like rivals Nokia, Motorola and Samsung...â¦
