Video: Older 808 proves Carla is Belle FP1

Over the past week or so there’s been a lot of commotion regarding the rumored “Scrapping of Carla”; which was then proven and confirmed to be gibberish as we learned that Carla was renamed as Belle FP1 (from the original leak of Carla we all knew that  it would only carry minor UI changes to Belle without any ground breaking changes (mainly new widgets)- which is exactly what Belle FP1 carried with it. Here’s a video of a pre-release 808 showing that Software version 112.whatever which is now known as Belle FP1 was indeed once upon a time called Carla; it is worth noting that the software date here is January 28th 2012 (just one month before the MWC unveil)- while the devices we got to play around with were dated Feb. 20th 2102; so it would appear that the ditching of the Carla name was a very short notice thing occurring somewhere between  Jan 28th and Feb 20th.

Here’s a Noob question; I may be way off but I understand that the pureview has a dedicated processor to control it’s imaging capabilities; wouldn’t that make it the first Multi-processor/Core Symbian phone? And as rumored the final Symbian update “Donna” at the time; would be for Mulit-core phones? -Can anyone explain if what I’m saying has any basis?
