Some months ago, many sites told that nokia develop meltemi (lightweight linux) for their asha series (phones).

so, yesterday nokia released 305, 306, 311:

According to some leads, the operation system on these is S40 with swipe. But have to see the official info from Nokia to be sure.

At least the swipe ui is still in full swing

edit.

Some say it is s40 and some donīt mention it at all

I hope that is not Meltemi, cause it feels terrible, no fluidity whatsoever.

Though this is S40, not Meltemi without the doubt. Just following the already leaked manual back from early this year.

Why not? But the chip probably isn't that fast. it most likely is an ARM11 core. Cortex A8 is about 2 times as fast. Also the phone has 128 MB RAM. That is iPhone 3G kind of specs, just like the screen resolution: 240 x 400.
Very good for the price of the device, but these were present in hardware 4 years ago.
