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?

Its the 709 with 12mp and belle fp2 on board to be launched at Nokia World. Others will be 605, 609, 650 clocked@ 1.5ghz.
Cheers!
ignore him, not the real DsMobile.
Lol, the picture is a giveaway.
dsmobile can you tell us which OS Nokia 605 is going to use ?
“dsmobile can you tell us which OS Nokia 605 is going to use?”
+1 Yes please! I doubt it’ll be Meltemi though
And even if it is with that model no. it won’t be very impressive, even if the sw’s amazing.
“even if the sw’s amazing.”
which is also quite unlikely.
Yep yep, can the real dsmobile give a hint with the 605?
I don’t know what device will use 605. The one and only Meltemi device I have seen could fit in 6xx series.
Nice, thanks dsmobile!
so Meltemi is more than just S40 replacement! 6XX suggest smartphones
It was always meant to be more than just S40.
Doesn’t mean it’s going to be like Maemo6x (meego-harmattan) though.
Very unlikely… sadly…
@dsmobile
So it’s a pretty mundane looking device right? :-/
I thought you said you have nothing to do with Nokia nowadays?
TIA.
meltemi phone looks about same as lumia 610 but with out front HW buttons.
Well I still have friends at Nokia.
So in other words it’ll be rather dull.
Thanks dsmobile…
610 is quite impressive looking .. how come dull ?
Build-quality/design might be ok (sadly not as good as their top-ends ph’s) but hw will be quite mediocre.
Plus all the rumours so far have pointed to the sw been more limited/restricted than Maemo6x.
That’s what I meant by “mundane”….
no it looks good. Hopefully its thinner, it’ll be even more impressive
Without front HW Button means its full touch .. N9 philosophy .. thats actually great.
dsmobile: Can the current Symbian hardware run Meltemi ? (future thought)
“Can the current Symbian hardware run Meltemi?”
Depends on what you mean by “current hardware”.
If you’re referring to core components of the SoC’s used by the latest S^3 phones.
Then yes of course….
I mean can Belle on 701, 700, 603 in future be replaced by Meltemi ?
It shouldn’t be hard at all for something similar to maemo6x to be re-adapted for that hardware.
It’s only a few shades away from what N9/950 use, there’s no highly specialised ASIC/DSP’s etc.
And we already know that it’s far more re-adaptable than WP in that respect.
But whether it will use hw of that calibre or lower, who knows…
If specs are on the lower side .. higher specs shall not be a problem right ?
More importantly are there any such indications ?
It’s quite possible that specs will be similar to 700/700/N9 etc.
But the worrying part is that the sw may be more rigid than Maemo6x, which has been a PIA, albeit getting better.
Plus it’ll probably be far less feature-packed, & all the built-in apps/UX will probably be closed source too, which makes it even more infuriating.
There’s reasons why they’d do all that ofc, but as a Maemo/MeeGo enthusiast that’ll kill most of it’s appeal to me.
But who knows, we have to wait & see…
sure .. lets see what’s in the store.

You can remove yourself, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work it out…
Plus there hasn’t been new posts in this thread for ages, so your post smells very much like that new breed of weird/annoying spam.
Hiya very nice website!! Man .. Excellent .. Amazing .. I will bookmark your web site and take the feeds also?
I am glad to seek out so many helpful info right here within the put up, we’d like develop more strategies in this regard, thanks for sharing. . . . . .
Good post. I learn something new and challenging
on websites I stumbleupon every day. It will always be helpful to read
through content from other writers and use something from their sites.
It’s actually very complex in this active life to listen news on Television, so I simply use internet for that reason, and take the latest news.
