Quad core at around 1.5ghz+ is becoming standard in modern phones, and if it ends up being a dual core under 1.5 ghz.. combined with a lacklustre GPU, its going to struggle to run spec intensive android applications, and for me, this is a bad thing. And also, having multiple cores helps manage the power required so quad core can be mighty helpful.

So.. in my case, a lower end CPU and GPU is really going to let the phone down.
First of all.. I'm very calm
All we know is "dual core" and nothing else. As I said before, the Intel offering in the Lenovo is smoking even the octa-spank exynos in the SGS4 on some benchmarks, so I wouldn't jump to any assumptions about what to expect from Jolla.
Also, whilst it makes commercial sense NOW to ride on the back of the many Android application markets, Jolla intends to push a store with native apps. It's entirely feasible that, assuming success of both the handset and OS, dependence on anything Android will be solely for proprietary apps like Skype etc.
We'll all find out before the end of the year....
