Leaked Nokia Roadmap Promises Four New Symbian Handsets In Q3

Nokia is all about the ladies. With Symbian, we have Anna and Belle iterations, with more girly names to follow in alphabetical order. And of course, who could forget that absolutely ridiculous female-targeted N8 commercial? It’s certainly burned into the corners of my memory, unfortunately. Today we came across a leaked roadmap for upcoming Symbian handsets, and we were surprised to see that Nokia has taken the lady-love a step further, giving girly names (at least for now) to four different upcoming Symbian phones.

There isn’t much to say yet about the Nokia Helen, Cindy, Zeta, and Fate, but one thing that was made pretty clear on the leaked document was that each will get a 1GHz processor. That’s a big step up from previous Nokia flagships that only touted a 700MHz processor. Tech blogger and leak extraordinaire Eldar Murtazin claims that each phone will have a screen with 360×640 pixels of resolution, and all four ladies should arrive in the third quarter.

Here’s a quick run down on each of the four upcoming handsets:
