Never the less Jolla phone will be compatible with “multiple streams” -- not surprising since it’s a Linux-based OS -- that can support smartphones running both ARM and x86 chips.

The phone will reportedly sell for € 399, or roughly $513, when it sees its release date “by the end of 2013.” The Jolla phone is now available to preorder. The Jolla phone will feature a 4.5-inch “high definition” display , an 8-megapixel camera and a dual-core processor.
