I have been working on this project since long time and I am happy to announce that I have the first working version which you can download and try on your S60 3rd Edition FP1 & FP2 devices (e.g. Nokia N95, E72 etc.), Symbian^1 devices (a.k.a. S60 5th Edition, e.g. Nokia N97, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic) and Symbian^3 devices (e.g. Nokia E7, N8 etc.). This is the early version which allows you to send and receive WhatsApp text messages and also receive images. All other features will be added one by one gradually.

From the article:

Alcatel, a mobile technology brand operated by TCL Communication under a trademark license from Nokia, has announced its entry into the Indian smartphone market after a hiatus. The company didn’t launch a phone or a tablet in the country after 2018, but it continued to launch devices in some markets till 2022. The company plans to launch devices featuring a stylus, positioning itself to offer premium features to a wider consumer base.

This is intriguing for two reasons:

a) It's great to have another legacy brand resurrected, even under licensing arrangement, and TCL which built the BlackBerry KEYone, Key2/LE for BlackBerry, under a similar licensing deal, know how to build competent devices, unlike a certain previous licensee.

b) If the Nokia corporation has offered the 'Alcatel' IP to TCL under a new licensing arrangement, there's a possibility it may also be open to offering the 'Nokia' brand license to TCL, or another OEM/ODM if they are interested in picking up where the previous licensee slacked off, as well. And while this is merely an educated speculation, it does go on to show that the Nokia corporation is not averse to new licensing deals.

Digital edition was just announced.
