Last year, when the change in Nokia's commercial strategy was announced, integrating Microsoft into its project, there were already echoes of skepticism about the future of Symbian "", the name by which the platform for smartphones was known at the time which evolved into Nokia Anna and now Nokia Belle ””.
However, from the Finnish multinational they called users to calm down: Symbian would enjoy support and updates until 2016, completing a five-year cycle that would serve as a transition until Windows Phone was the leading platform of the firm.
In this way, and while the aforementioned updates Anna and Belle were still awaited, new versions were already anticipated in the future. Specifically, they talked about Nokia Carla and Nokia Donna, names with which it was clear that those from Espoo were following in the wake of Google, calling the progressive editions of their operating system following an alphabetical rule and continuing with female names.
However, the plans could have been in borage water. Thus, at least, it can be deduced from what was stated by Nokia's product manager for southern Europe, Mathias Fiorin, in an interview with the Italian blog Nokialino.
Although Fiorin's statements may be ambiguous, the message becomes clearly understood. When asked about the next update that the old Symbian mobiles will receive "" we insist, today Nokia Belle "", the head of Nokia clarifies that the company no longer uses the name "Carla" to refer to the next update, opting for the much more aseptic label "FP1" "" Feature Pack 1 "" as the package of improvements and updates for Belle. Among these improvements, it is expected that there will be new features such as support fordisplays with high definition resolution, as well as compatibility with processors based on dual-core architecture "" for the moment, no terminal in this segment boasts chips of this type "".
The words of Mathias Fiorin could also be understood as a call to caution, indicating that there will be an update to Nokia Carla imminently, so the program of new system features will simply be attached to the present Nokia Belle.
In any case, the fact that it refers so explicitly to the fact that the company no longer uses the name "Carla" does invite us to consider stagnation in the update program, keeping the Nokia Belle brand for its native system despite the successive improvements that may be to come.
Several weeks ago a series of captures was leaked that showed the work that Nokia was dedicating to the platform that in theory we would have known as Carla. In them, there was a somewhat more minimalist look than in previous editions. With this, it would have been hoped to further boost the good results in acceptance of Nokia Belle, which has received multiple compliments among users of the old Symbian 3 category after receiving the latest in the company's own system.
