This is what I think. Largely or entirely based on prototype by Ericsson. Production-wise I think it is a hybrid.
Ericsson has had the symbian platform phone/thing since a while back. The flip-idea is directly inherited from R380. UIQ was previously a unit within Ericsson. In addition it uses Ericsson accessories. Radio technology is licensed from Ericsson.
HOWEVER, it has memory stick, button layout is rearranged, I understand the menu system when closed is similiar to old Sony, jogdial, earpieces and the likes are most probably delivered by Sony, and last but not least - it is manufactured in Sony's factories.
It is simply a hybrid.

It probably started out on the drawing board of an Ericsson designer's desk as a continuation of the R380. I think you can find most of the traits of the P800 as an enhancement over the R380: the keyboard flip, Symbian, etc. When they merged, Sony came and enhanced it with the Jog dial, Memory Stick Duo, and probably screen and multimedia technology.
It is a true product of the merger, yes, but believe it was conceived by Ericsson before the merger.
