That statement scares me.... Does this actually mean they MAY consider using an Intel chipset OMG! please NO.

I was skeptical about X86 originally when MeeGo was Nokia, it made sense in the whole ecosystem sense to have it all on ARM.
Now as Jolla is at it's own it could get that special vibe from using X86.
it looks like Jolla's site would be www.jollamobile.org.

Now that could either be "Consumers are not permitted to..." or "Consumers are on average not technically able enough to..." - can a native Finnish speaker look at the original?
I think that's a great idea, what if you just a phone that works? no mess no fuss buy it from any phone shop.
And a different version for those who like to play with everything that's inside

Too early to fully understand what they mean. It can simply mean some device setting flippable on the same device (but not intended for non technical users). So no need to panic yet.
I expect that they will make unlocked phones available, just like most GSM phone makers do.

Unlocked market is way too big in Europe and Asia to be left out, especially for company like Jolla that simply wont be getting wide operator support.

Original finnish:

My translation:
Jolla phone will be a real smartphone aimed at the mass consumer market. It will not be aimed to just Linux-geeks. Consumer will not be able to directly hack the kernel or to flash it with new software.
