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!
