Motorola has (according to the Register) licensed the UIQ interface for its Symbian based Paragon 3G Smartphone This is the same interface as the upcoming SE P800.

This is big news as it confirms that Motorola is producing a Symbian device. Also it provides competition for Nokia's platform 60/80 devices. Well variety is the spice of life. Hopefully this is just the 1st of many new Symbian based product announcements.

The Register has an article about this "GUI wars return: Motorola, Sony Ericsson tie-up"

I think this just confirms how dominant a position Symbian is in in the Smartphone industry. I notice that the Sendo smartphone is no longer mentioned in the latest Carphone Warehouse catalogue! Its probably just delayed again!
