Nokia Carla, the next flavor of the Symbian platform, is expected to arrive on shelves later this year. The first handset to feature it is now said to be the previously rumored Nokia 801.

The phone maker made it to the headlines a few times before, but was recently suggested to have been scrapped, along with the whole future range of new Symbian phones from Nokia, except for one flagship device.

A few days ago, this phone was said to be the Nokia PureView 808, and not the Nokia 801, as many might have expected. However, a recent article on smartphonegeeks suggests that Nokia’s next OS flavor will make it on shelves on the 801, which might be the handset in the photo above.

We’ll take this rumor with a big grain of salt, but there is a chance that it might actually become reality, especially since nothing was made official on the matter for the time being.
