After a brief foray into the world of Windows phone I'm jumping ship for Android. I came to the 521 from iPhone 5. I didn't expect a low end model phone to match the performance of such a high end model, but in the end I couldn't make it work for me. Some of my issues are:
Random restarts. I heard this could be due to a loose battery.
App freezes. Happens more than I'd like.
Unresponsive apps. Sometimes I find apps just hanging and not responding to touch. Facebook is really bad. I almost always have press buttons 4 or 5 times to get them to respond.
Slow app loading. The phone is fairly responsive but the time it takes to load up apps is way long.
Random shut down. Numerous times I've pulled the phone out of my pocket to find "Goodbye" on the screen. I have to remove the back and pull the battery to get it working.
I really liked the Windows interface and contemplated just getting a better specked phone to see if it solved my main issues. The problem was that there weren't any affordable ones that had enough of a bump in specifications to make it worthwhile. Just not a cost effective solution.
I still have 3 other 521's in my household though. I'll see how the others like theirs. My daughter seems to like it just fine so far. Moto X and Android for me.....
