Deal Alert: Lumia 521 @ Walmart for $129.99 - Free ship to store

[JamesTBurns]

At that price I"ll buy it just to have it.

 

[essinger]

now I feel cheated. I paid $150 at HSN,:

Shouldn't be all that bad. Where I live sales tax would have added another $10 to the price. Add a few more bucks for shipping. I'd probably pay $3 for the charger and a dollar for the screen protector. Then you add the free financing with HSN's flexpay and I'd call it a wash.

I think the charger and screen protector are useless.

Wife picked one up at a local WM today, for our daughter. I heard the lady who sold it say that was the only one they had.

They look to be selling again given Slickdeals.

These things are going like hot cakes.

Not surprising given the amazing price out of contract!

Bought one from the Beach Blvd store here in JAX, FL. Bye bye webOS, hello WP8. They had 4, now they have 3 in inventory

I bought one in store at Walmart. It isn't on the floor yet but it is in the back. My suggestion is look the upc up on walmart's website and have that handy when you go in.

I bought it just for fun!

Its 130 out the door no contract?

No contract, but there is sales tax, of course.

I set my daughter's 521 we bought today against my 810, a bit smaller and lighter. Not bad looking and the price without contract, yeah, very respectable. The final result after setting it up...

I'd be willing to pay extra for a front facing camera , but man this is an awesome phone for the price!

Got one today. It's pretty nice for the price. Wifi, bluetooth, glove-touchable screen (resistive layer on top of capacitive?). Speaker is really loud. OS is fast of course. Screen is plastic and attracts MEGA fingerprints. You will need to wipe it every few minutes. No flash or front camera. They have a white backplate. HSPA+ on T-Mo is blazing fast. Has internet sharing. Overall, a nice foray into WP8 (I'm a Nexus 4 ******). Barely got it - they didn't want to sell it to me, but I asked them to ring it up and see if it worked. It did. Hey, it's a very cheap Nokia Drive GPS if nothing else!

I'm happy! Good little backup phone. Pairs perfectly with my T-Mo $30 SIM (while my ATT Straight Talk SIM is in my N4). The cheap for the masses trojan horse MSFT needs - they have it! This thing will be out of stock forever. The cashier was stunned at the price. Good luck.

Quick question, will the 521 work with the TMO sim card that I currently have or will it only work for the prepaid plan? I'm pretty sure it will work but I just want to make sure.

It will work with any T-Mobile SIM.

Nice, thanks! I've located some Walmarts around here that have limited stock according to their website, so I will see if I can manage to nab one!

glove-touchable screen (resistive layer on top of capacitive?)

No, it's super-sensitive. Nokia licensed the technology from Synaptics. No resistive layer.

As long as its a micro SIM and not the regular size or the nano (I phone) SIM.

I got one. Wrote down the stock number and took it to the store. They found it in a new stock box on the floor. It had just come in.

 

[dogfish54]

@zukirin - let us know if you find one

I just got an e-mail saying my phone is being shipped to the store via FedEx. Should arrive Friday. I'll just wait for that rather than try to pick one up now (if there is any in the back storeroom) and trying to deal with cancelling my in-store pickup order.
