I know its contract free. You'd have to see if its sim free.

Its online deal of the day. At bestbuy website.

What do you mean by "Sim free"? As far as I know all 521s sold through US retail stores like Best Buy, Target, Walmart, Radio Shack, etc come with a T-Mobile micro sim inside the plastic packaging and are locked to T-Mobile.

Am not from US, have to shell extra for unlocking, ebay should help.

I was eyeing for Lumia 925 past few days and could not pass this deal. I've been a long time Nexus user from Nexus One and I wanted to try something new. So far I am loving it but I have a feeling that I will end up getting 925.

So far my favorite is how the phone doesn't have lag and keyboard is better than any other I used.

I wonder why they are doing this... could it be because the 525 is rumored to come out soon? Seems odd that nokia would replace a phone thats barely 4 mths old...

idk how Nokia does things but 525 can be different carrier specific. Also it was one day deal at BB.

Took me less than 2 months to go from a 521 to a 925. The upgrades in hardware and features are very nice, but may be hard to justify for the budget conscious. For a "cheap" smartphone., the 521 really delivers.

The 520 on AT&T GoPhone debuted at $99, so even though the 521 was ~$120 on T-Mo, this isn't exactly a fire sale.

it might take less than a week. Its not a budget issue... 10/22 event makes me hold on but also same time I feel like it will take months for T-Mobile to get a new device..,

Rehashing a old thread here, but i would be willing to upgrade if the next 521 had a front facing camera... Or if there was some big performance upgrade. Having said that, i feel like the phone is great.

Only issue is service at timea, but wifi calling gets around this

i ended up sticking with 521 rather than 925. I wish I can get black battery door/cover

Already got Lumia 520 and 521. Lumia 521 was $80 when I bought it. Skip for now

They are easy to put on.

Dang. Its worth more than that even if you don't use it as a phone.
