Well the phone actually costs ?400, which may or may not convert to $500 when it's released outside of Europe. The specs aren't even fully clarified yet. A dual-core could still be an A15 based SoC or a Snapdragon S4, which would still be quite fast for a ?400 phone. In any case, one has to take into account that Jolla is a low volume product from a startup and as such it's very likely they will get a worse deal than any of the large android OEMs on HW.

It's completely possible consumers overlook (or don't really notice) the performance-per-dollar of the Jolla phone because the interface is so unique.
I mean, Macs sell well off "hipness" and chrome-finish alone it seems.

The 8MP is too low. 12-16MP with zoom is the default now for low to middle end phones. Example you can get $200 phones from China with 12MP cams and they are fairly decent specs. Check out Aliexpress.com
16GB is also too low. 32GB+ is a must with 2GB+ of main.

I don't think I paid more than that for my N9 actually (around christmas, 64Gb in Switzerland not so expensive).
