It is possible to dual boot. During PR1.1 I installed bootmenu and copied rootfs to eMMC partition. This gave me two bootable installations of PR1.1. I only upgraded 1 the rootfs on nand to PR1.2, so when booting from eMMC, I still have PR1.1.

If you want to do it now, after you installed PR1.2, you probably need to reflash PR1.1, clone to MMC, and then upgrade (or flash) to PR1.2.

I did not test cellular functionality, but it can probably be done in the same way that it was done for downgrading from leaked PR1.2 (see the relevant thread).
