The Geeksphone Revolution will support both Android and a “Boot2Gecko by Mozilla” option.

The Geeksphone Revolution will sell for normally sell for €239 but will be available for €222 for a limited time at launch. There is no word on whether the Geeksphone Revolution will make its way to North America at this point. The odds of it happening are certainly not very high, especially without LTE support.
With the Geeksphone Revolution launching just days before MWC 2014, the company also plans to announce a new model called “Blackphone” at the event.
