Recently Symbian Belle, formally knows as PR 3.0, which will come after Symbian Anna, which will reach us early 2011, was seen on some pictures and devices. I found out about this via symbiantweet.
There seems to be already builds for the N8 and the E7 and some nice people at Nokia are leaking more and more stuff to us. We know already a lot about the app menu and some other screens.
But what was leaked to me will blow your mind! Nokia already announced that one of their strategic goals is “the next billion” and with more and more cheap Android devices they need top-notch devices. Their basis for this their Series 40 platform which always tried to look like Symbian…
See more after the break!

The following pictures where given to me anonymously. They are showing the next iteration of Nokia Series 40 which again looks a lot like the next iteration of Symbian which again seems to get some ideas from Windows Phone (look at the softkeys).
In addition to the obviously new icon set (which delivery already started with the newest version of the Ovi Store for S40) Nokia’s low-end platform will get the ability to use a background image in the program folder.
Also Nokia is changing the user interaction paradigm: Back was always on the right softkey and options on the left. By the way, the same applies to Symbian Anna vs Symbian Belle.

But on one thing the Nokia developers have to work: On Belle, no matter if Symbian or Series 40, the clock always shows 2:18. Especially on all of those “new leaked” pictures. Strange… What could this mean?
