In less than 60 minutes, Walmart sold out the Nokia Lumia 521. That might come as no surprise considering that the phone was priced to sell at $129.88 sans contract. The low-end handset came over to the deep discounter after a successful run on the Home Shopping Network where the device also sold out. HSN offered the model for $149.95 which included a car charger and a screen protector.
The T-Mobile branded version of the Nokia Lumia 520 is not going to knock anyone out with its specs. The device carries a 4 inch screen with a 235ppi pixel density and is powered by a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon clocked at 1GHz. Only 512MB of RAM come with the handset, along with 8GB of native storage. A 5MP AF camera is on back, but does not offer flash, and a 1430mAh cell powers the model. The Nokia Lumia 521 is a 4G model thanks to HSPA+ connectivity.
Still, for under $130, you own the phone lock, stock and barrel. And it comes with some great Nokia apps like Nokia Music, Cinemagraph, Smart Shoot, HERE Drive, Nokia Maps and Nokia Transit. Hopefully, you were able to take advantage of the deal as there is no word when Walmart will have the phone back in stock.
