You're right. if SE licenses UIQ from Symbian, Nokia makes 47% (i.e. share in symbian). if SE licenses S60 from Nokia, Nokia makes 100%. Unfortunately UIQ3 is still vaporware whereas S60 is real. Who do you think would have more money to enhance the UI software in the future. Symbian-UIQ3 or Nokia-S60. And you know the next s60 will combine all capabilities of S60/80/90. This is what the new WM5.0 has. Since SE is a small player, it may be more advantageous to pick a side. (i,e S60 or WM)
SE might buy out uiq if symbian looks like pulling support. They'll spend the bucks if it means maintaining independence. I may be wrong, but I feel SE's parent companies are both used to doing things their own way, and they won't easily accept product development at SE being dominated by what Nokia thinks a good interface is.
Maybe they have a WM device in development - but I don't think they will acept the Microsoft hegonomy any more than they will Nokia.
Personally I think they have it all under control. I don't believe they would have held off on a P910 replacement for so long without good cause. If UIQ3 is going ahead, then SE will be using it.
I hope it eventuates, since I don't like the s60 interface (that's just a personal preference, but I never have liked the Nokia ui's), and I sure as shit can't get my head around a Windows Sony Ericsson! Imagine - A Microsoft Walkman phone to compete with the Apple iPod

If I am not mistaken, Ericsson started the development of UIQ but later sold it to Symbian. So would SE buy back what was sold previously?
The challenge facing SE is 2-fold. First it need to come up with a a new smartphone platform. And secondly, it has to sell much more than the P** series.

@mib1800.
Please tell me of a situation that would require both a rotating camera AND a rotating viewfinder. Gimmicky to say the least.
Also, please post the evidence you have of sales figures, I am dying to see them.
That monotonous candy bar - as you call it - is a very successful design, more than the N90 could even hope to be!
Why the T610 / 6610 sales figures comparison?
The K750i is the best Cameraphone in its class. The latest test I seen was in What Camera magazine - a mag which until recently didn't even rate cameraphones!
The K750i boasts most of the major functions of the N90 and is almost half the weight/size/price.
Now what?

This is call "novelty". Tell me why SE came out with S700. The swivel form factor serve no purpose at all. Now you got your answer.
then

Are you saying since candybar is used successfully by many, so SE see no need to come out with something new other than "copying" the well and tested candybar design?

EISA - a highly influencial society related to consumer electonics which every year gives award for the best product in various consumer electronics categories prized Nokia N90 as the best multimedia mobile phone for 2005-2006
So what does your statement proof?

Yes, K750 boasts to have but of crap quality such as video recording.
The last I look, K750 dont have "major functions" like 3G / EDGE / Smartphone.

Series 60 & UIQ are different interfaces for a common underlying OS..which is Symbian....The apps for S60 and UIQ are not inter-compatible
