You might remember that late last month, the Home Shopping Network put the Nokia Lumia 521 up for sale. Priced at $149.95, the handset was priced off-contract and came bundled with a car charger (always a good accessory to have) and a screen protector. The 400 units that HSN had were sold out. As it turns out, Walmart and T-Mobile's pre-paid service also sold out of the phone quickly, once launched by both of them.

The low-end model is back in stock at HSN's online store for the same price of $149.95, which can be paid off in four equal installments of $37.49, and shipping is free. Meanwhile, a video of the Nokia Lumia 521's visit to HSN has been uploaded to YouTube and with the HSN salesman calling it "the most anticipated phone about to hit the market," we'd say that a bit of hyperbole was employed here. This guy makes a dual-core processor sound like it is on the cutting edge of wireless technology!
