UPDATE 1-Ericsson,Nokia,Motorola call
London news conference

(Adds background)

LONDON, April 11 (Reuters) - The world's top three mobile phone
manufacturers -- Finland's Nokia , Motorola (NYSE:MOT - news) of
the U.S. and Sweden's Ericsson -- said on Tuesday they were calling a
London news conference at 1400 GMT.

The companies said in a statement they wanted to share the industry's views of the latest technology
developments in the fast-emerging mobile electronic business market.

No further details were immediately available.

Motorola, Nokia and Ericsson are already linked via their Symbian joint venture with British
handheld computer company Psion Plc (quote from Yahoo! UK & Ireland: PON.L) and Matsushita of
Japan.

Psion-led Symbian is built around Psion's EPOC operating platform, which has thrown down the
gauntlet to U.S. computer giant Microsoft Corp's (NasdaqNM:MSFT - news) Windows CE and
palmtop market leader Palm Inc (NasdaqNM:PALM - news) Palm OS rival technology.

But the borders between alliances are becoming increasingly blurred in an industry that is braced for
booming demand for smart, high tech cellphones as European governments put next generation
mobile licences up for grabs.

And there is more to the Symbian platform than EPOC.

There are also layers of services dealing with WAP (Wireless Application Protocol), which connects
mobile phones to the Internet, Bluetooth, which allows mobile devices to communicate with each
other without wires, high speed General Packet Radio Switching (GPRS) network technology and
other features that Windows CE and the Palm OS currently lack.
