London, UK – February 2, 2007 – Sony Ericsson today completed the acquisition of the Swedish software company UIQ Technology AB from Symbian Ltd following full regulatory ratification. UIQ Technology, which uses Symbian OS™, licenses the UIQ user interface and application development platform to mobile phone vendors worldwide.

Sony Ericsson is already a licensee of UIQ Technology, and has been working closely with the company on UIQ version 3.0, which is included in Sony Ericsson’s P990 smartphone, M600 messaging phone and W950 Walkman® phone.

UIQ Technology will operate as a separate business subsidiary of Sony Ericsson. UIQ on Symbian OS™ will continue to be openly available, licensed on equal terms to all its licensees.
