Yes and it's being produced with my ex-bosses and there is a working phone over at Jolla[0] I've not tried it though. :( I'd like to. [0] http://jolla.com/
I have a nexus 5 and am replying to you from sailfish. The porters have done a great job.
It looks like 7in iPhone. Even the connector looks like a lightning jack from the renders. And at 6.9mm its thinner than every iPad other than the Air 2 and is even thinner than the 6+ (its as thin as the 6). Also a quad core intel atom. Are there any consumer devices running x86 Android? Seems like an interesting choice, I wonder how long intel can squeeze that battery. Really interesting design choice on Nokia's pa…
You can hardly blame Nokia for the design the USB committee chose.

There are x86 Android devices, have been for a while, although they are more rare than I anticipated. Should be an interesting device indeed.
"And, it again isn’t the standard Android OS" Why is this a good thing? Does it mean that it's going to lag behind, and at some point stop running the latest version of Android leaving you with a device that can't be updated?
According to The Verge it will run stock android 5.0, just with a custom launcher installed.

Motorola RAZR-i (2012) was one of the first I think, there have been many since.
Would be interesting to see what the new zero gap screen looks like in person. For people who don't know, screens often have spaces between the front glass, actual LCD, touch sensor, etc.. Zero gap/laminated should improve display quality. Battery live measurements would be nice too with the Intel processor maybe helping or hurting.
Most modern smartphones already have this to a certain extent, I don't think that what Nokia calls 'zero gap screen' is much different from what we see today. All iPhones since the iPhone 4 have this, same with the Samsung Galaxy line (at least since the SIII, I didn't follow them before), and I'm sure most other mid/high end phones also use this. It's not only a question of improving display quality, this method all…
If Nokia, now owned by Microsoft, distributes a Linux variant, wouldn't that void all patent royalty claims they have used against other manufacturers? Any N1 owner can redistribute their source (which they have to make available) and grant the same usage rights the N1 owner got from Microsoft, effectively granting each and every Android manufacturer the same rights of N1 owners.
The GPLv2 is only a copyright license, not a patent license. Some open-source licenses do require you not to enforce any of your patents that might be used in the product, but the GPLv2 does not. As others have pointed out, this tablet isn't from Microsoft, but even if it were from Microsoft it wouldn't matter because no patent rights are conferred by the GPLv2.

Talk about overkill. That's a quad-core x86-64 CPU clocking up to 2.33Ghz. I realize Atom microarchitectures aren't wide as Haswell and ilk, but that's still some serious horsepower. It's also interesting that Intel doesn't mention the TDP on their site.[1] I wonder if it eats more power than a comparable ARM CPU. 1. http://ark.intel.com/products/81195/Intel-Atom-Processor-Z35...
Atom is less powerful than Celeron, Intel's low-budget/low-power family. Plus, it will be throttled, to reduce power consumption/heat, like all mobile CPU... but... it certainly does seem like a desktop-class CPU. It would be interesting to find the median power of a desktop CPU for each year; and the power delivered by a mobile CPU that's sustainable (i.e. without throttling/overheating - 2.33GHz is the " burst freq…

the one and S only got two revisions of a single version even
