Until March 19th, you can pick up T-Mobile's Nokia Lumia 521 for $59.99; no contract required

Now through March 19th, one of the most popular Windows Phone 8 models can be yours for just $59.99 without a contract. The Nokia Lumia 521 has been a big hit in the U.S. while its twin, the Nokia Lumia 520, has amassed strong sales both in the U.S. and in emerging markets. Both models are entry-level phones that provide good value for the price.

The $59.99 deal is available from Newegg and you will need to use the coupon code EMCPGWG83 when you checkout to get the
$30 discount from the online retailer's everyday price of 89.99. There is a limit of two phones per person.

While the Nokia Lumia 521 has just a rear-facing 5MP camera and doesn't offer a flash for it, you will still have access to HERE maps which for many, makes this a fantastic deal. No, this is certainly not a mid-range or high-end phone considering that it carries just 512MB of RAM and a 4 inch screen with resolution of 480 x 800. And the dual-core 1GHz CPU won't blow anyone away. But if you need a phone to make calls, play the occasional game, take pictures in the daylight and help get you from one place to another, paying $59.99 for the Nokia Lumia 521 is well worth it.
