Yes, it is the dual-sim 64GB model. Was cheaper than the regular version.

FYI, you can flash that recovery image to the phone itself with

Code:
fastboot flash recovery hybris-recovery.img
That way, you can enter recovery whenever you need by powering the phone on while holding Vol. down. No more need to use fastboot on your computer each time.
Thank you meemorph and thank you depreciated.

Are there any negatives to flashing Jolla Recovery if one plans to forget about Android? It certainly does have a much more "wholesome" (maybe the word I am looking for is "powerful"?) shell than TWRP.

My initial reluctance stems from typing on a small touch screen to be such a drag I would almost rather wait until I can fastboot via a computer to fix an issue via a keyboard rather than trying to get that sorted out on the device itself.
