Sprint Nextel will be deploying the customized UI skins technology from Qualcomm, called UIOne, on its handsets…the first such phone, Sanyo’s CDMA2000 1x EV-DO-capable MM-7500, will sell for $380.
uiOne allows either carriers or mobile phone users to customize the look and feel of their devices. Sprint Nextel is using uiOne to sell new “themes” to subscribers, who will be able to customize their phone’s user interface with downloadable motifs such as “hip hop” and “tropical.”
Alltel Corp. and 02 UK also plans to use Qualcomm’s uiOne technology in their phones.
