Loading ...The End of UIQ
UIQ’s entire 270 staff have been put on notice of dismissal. With both Sony Ericsson and Motorola no longer using UIQ in their products the company’s future is dubious. Sony Ericsson has agreed to fund the company on a monthly basis to allow UIQ to explore its options, in other words until someone buys the company or the staff can be found other jobs. The staff themselves are a valuable asset given their experience.
All About Symbian reports that both Sony Ericsson and Motorola has dropped a number of UIQ handsets planned for launch.

wow… thats a bit sad
Wow…its a shame that UIQ 3.3 will never see it to production.
So what’s the staff going to do in the meantime…..clean windows and mop floors ?
as harsh as it may sound, some things should really be done or else neither SE or Motorola will never going to see the light of day
RIP UIQ
now its time for android I guess.
so, what this means is that it’s now foolish to buy a P1 or W960 or G900 phone?
massimo, no, since before something else takes UIQs place, its going to take at least a year, most probably more.
It’s a good decision from SE, they can focus on SE-A200, Android, Symbian 60 and Win Mob. This OS’s are better than UIQ, more popular too. It can attract more customers to SE.
more popular, yes…better??? don´t think so
That’s very bad.. I am a very big SE fan.. and now no touch-screen mobil phones will be available anymore -I mean with a good operation system- or am I wrong??? Pls tell me I’m wrong!!!!
