Australian mobile phone sales are faring better than their overseas counterparts, according to industry analysts.
Motorola has bought half of mobile software company UIQ from rival handset maker Sony Ericsson for an undisclosed sum.
Dozens of phone calls and emails today made one thing clear: none of Australia's telcos or handset manufacturers have briefed their staff on when mobile phones running Google's Android system will be made available locally, if they are at all.
Sony Ericsson has become the latest major manufacturer to use the Windows Mobile operating system in its handsets.
Prototypes of the first mobile handsets using Google's Android software debuted at the GSMA's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on Monday.

SanDisk co-founder and CEO Eli Harari continues to fight the good fight against Apple's iPod juggernaut, but even he's starting to look toward the future.
Instances of infected smart phones are almost nonexistent, according to a mobile phone support exec.
The Sony Ericsson C905 is a very good phone with a decent camera, but don't expect this to be the model that has you selling your stand-alone camera on eBay.
Camera phones with 5 megapixels are no longer just for people with huge pockets. The C902 packs a very mean shooter into a very slim package and delivers excellent photos.
The K660i shares most of its specs with budget-priced phones, with the addition of HSDPA data speeds, and minus the budget price tag.
What the S500i lacks in the high-end gadgetry of its competition, it makes up for it in style, ease-of-use and its budget price tag.
The Z750i has spunky looks and a decent interface, but Telstra has shoved in a few naff features that either don't work or don't make sense.
