In the U.S., the Nokia Lumia 521 continues to sell-out wherever it is offered. Appearing on the Home Shopping Network last month, the low-end model sold out. Then, early this month, the same model sold out on Walmart's online store in less than 60 minutes. That prompted Windows Phone Senior Manager Greg Sullivan to note that Walmart had to place a second order for phones.
Now, T-Mobile's pre-paid service has sold out of the phone, which was priced at $199.99 with no contract. At that price T-Mobile was charging more than the $129.88 that Walmart tagged the phone at, and the $149.95 that the Lumia 521 was offered for on HSN. The latter also threw in a screen protector and a car charger.
There is no word when the phone will be back in stock for Walmart or T-Mobile, or when HSN will put the phone back up for sale.
