What is a surprise is that the smallest userbase, WP7 comes in at [...]

Back in February, when Ali showed us a hands on of the 808 in the firmware we saw that what we were presented as Belle FP1 seemed to have been none other than Carla. http://mynokiablog.com/2012/02/28/nokia-belle-fp1-is-nokia-carla-v112-with-nokia-browser-8-2-so-carla-for-603-700-701/ Most recently in a Q&A with a Nokia person, they said that FP1 is Carla too.
