'Motorola and Sony Ericsson have signed up to contribute UIQ assets'
Surely this standardisation is a good thing?

Sure. Gives them a strong momentum against Android.

Somehow I feel you may be right there. Nokia is/has buying/bought the remaining Symbian shares and that probably made SE and Moto uneasy. My concern though is the newly released UIQ phones from SE, how long would they be supported software wise? It would be sad indeed if they were to give up on UIQ, I really love the OS and was hoping for one high end smartphone.

Ok, expect no more UIQ-phones... Symbian Foundation-phones are next. Hm, I guess we'll have to wait a while for them to surface.

So, in the mean time, will there be more WM-phones from SE?

Actually Christmas 2010: "First complete unified Symbian Foundation platform release is expected to be available during the first half of 2010 to all foundation members"
http://www.symbianfoundation.org/files/WhitePaper.pdf
Interesting to note: "The Symbian Foundation platform will offer both exciting possibilities for the future but also compatibility with the past - to Symbian OS v9 and S60 3rd edition."
and
"A new platform is then to be formed from Symbian OS and S60 with selected UIQ and MOAP(S) technologies integrated."
I guess we can say goodbye to UIQ.
Yep, UIQ is cutting down most of its staff in Sweden and moves production out of the country (sorry, in swedish):
