The BIG problem is now UIQ is no longer in the "loop" as it is not part of Symbian Ltd. And it no longer has "insider" info on symbian OS which UIQ is based on. So UIQ will longer get product direction and tech know-how so easily. |

mib1800 what are you talking about??
You forgot that Symbian is part Sony Ericsson and Ericsson own??
UIQ is Symbian UI of course they have access to everything, from source-code to kernels everything...

Actually MIK Ericsson was the first manufacture to SUCCESSFULLY ship a Symbian OS device (wasnt UIQ then). Symbian is owned in shares by a group of Manufacturer's which include SonyEricsson (which is STILL lobbying to get the share of ownership under Ericsson's brand name; limitations of incorporation are being held back), Nokia owning the biggest stake 42%, and Motorola, Samsung, etc making up the rest. Sendo's stake is bought by Motorola.

SE owns 12% of Symbian whereas Nokia owns 47%. On top of that Nokia buys 80% of symbianOS licenses whereas SE buys something like 2%. So who do you think has the bigger influence on future direction of symbianOS which both UIQ and S60 are based on. So Symbian would be more obliged to implement new functionalities or tweak the core symbianOS to cater to Nokia's S60 platform than UIQ.

@mib- please spare us!! Firstly, I'm not ignoring the info you just provided but do you really know exacatly the plans of SE regarding UIQ? I think not, no I know you don't! At every given moment you have to find fault with SE, sometimes doing so blindly (because you're such a Nokia fan!). Until we know for sure the details of this acquisition it's best to be cautious and reasonable in our discussions.

mib1800 and prom1 your info are correct,
However that has nothing to do with UIQ not getting the source code and internal information from Symbian...
Symbian is Open OS, UIQ is based on Symbian it works on Symbian...
For example Nokia N80 and P990 are both based in Symbian 9.1, one using Series 60 3rd edition and the other UIQ 3.0, the interface it may be different but the core is the same exactly code, the code of Symbian 9.1, Symbian 9.1 has major memory issues so guess what both P990 and N80 has major memory management problems...
Thats how it goes....
If you are trying to say that Nokia one day will take total control of Symbian and drop UIQ by making Series 60 the only Symbian UI thats a totally different story and probably never is going to happen...
