Under $140 Windows 8 and World Wide Nokia Apps

Worth every penny out of $139 as Window 8 Phone. Offline GPS and Nokia Music Offline with download free...Best Pic Camera with No Flash... And no Front Face Camera..First Windows Phone after watching review on Youtube.. Go get it while you talk to Wallmart Assoc. and gave them UPC Code...They will unlock Magic Cabinet and give this phone to you... Good Luck.

Works great, is intuitive, and is affordable

I was looking for an affordable 4G smart phone to use with the T-Mobile Pay-in-Advance, no contract plan ($30/month for 100 voice minutes and unlimited text and web). The Nokia Lumia 521 has all the features I was looking for. Not all smart phones have Wi-Fi calling built-in, like this one does. With the T-Mobile service, Wi-Fi calling counts towards your monthly minutes. The big benefit of Wi-Fi calling is a strong signal inside buildings that are Wi-Fi hot spots but have weak or no cellular signal, such as the inside of my concrete apartment (using my home wireless network) or in various restaurants. While Windows 8 smart phones don't have as many available apps as others (Apple or Android OS), they reportedly have better security (e.g. less susceptible to hacking), which is preferable in today's world... For initial setup, before powering up the phone for the first time, go onto the T-Mobile website with another PC and activate your Nokia Lumia 521 phone (SIM card is included with phone) and setup your T-Mobile service ($30/month plan). That way, when you power up the smart phone for the first time and go into the Windows 8 initialization, it detects your T-Mobile service and doesn't require that setup process at the same time as the Windows 8 initialization. It makes for an easier and cleaner install process.

Great

I have had my phone for one week now and it is excellent. I really love it. I have begun to customize my phone just to fit my style and its a touch screen. I plugged into my wi-fi and get the regular internet through my phone service. I am glad I purchased this phone.
