Nokia Belle (formerly Symbian Anna/Belle) was the final, much-faster version of Symbian. It was never officially released for most S60v5 devices (it required 256MB RAM).

Symbian S60v5 (Series 60 5th Edition) was Nokia’s first major touchscreen OS, debuting in 2008 with the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. Devices like the N97, C6-00, and 5230 ran it. Official support ended around 2012–2013. By 2021, Symbian was a decade-dead platform — but a tiny, passionate community of hobbyists, developers, and retro-tech enthusiasts kept creating custom firmware (“ROMs”) to keep these devices usable.
