Just when you thought that the price of the Lumia 521 couldn't get any lower, MetroPCS comes in and offers the handset for $29.
It's worth mentioning that this is the price of the phone after a mail-in rebate. You'll have to shell out $49.00 initially (plus taxes), but you get $20 back with a mail-in rebate.
If you already use, or don't mind switching to MetroPCS as your carrier, then this is a pretty enticing smartphone deal.
For your $29, you'll get 4.7GB of internal memory with the option of expanding it via a microSD card, a 5MP camera, a 4-inch screen, 4G internet speeds, Wi-Fi calling, and mobile hotspot support. Not to mention Windows Phone 8 and all of its features. The only downside is that the 521 only has 512MB of RAM, so it won't have access to all of the applications on the Windows Phone store. Also, MetroPCS isn't known for having the best coverage in the States, so there's that to consider as well.
Still, at $29 the value for money of the deal is hard to match. If you're a MetroPCS customer or are considering making the jump, let us know in the comments!
The Lumia 521 from Nokia is on sale on the Walmart website for just $129.99, but has sold out almost immediately. The deal was covered on SlickDeals with subsequent updates that the online store reported the Windows Phone to be out of stock. The Lumia 521 is proving to be a popular device indeed.
It shouldn't come as such a surprise with the low price and brand name pretty much selling the product to consumers. A Windows Phone 8 device for under $150? One word: bargain. While stock levels dwindle over at Walmart, the Home Shopping Network has once again got some units in stock and ready to ship. The network is selling the Windows Phone for $150.
Be sure to keep an eye on the Walmart website for when the device is available once again
