Hmm... There's a Walgreen's in town. I think I may check them out a bit later. I could always use it as a backup in case my current 520 has to stop a bullet or something. Or I could always stand at the rack where Kroger sells it for $99.99, and when someone is looking at it, I can tell them, "I'll sell you one for just $75, bud!"
Seriously, though, $34.99 is a pretty attractive price. Sounds like they are "dumping" them to make room for the newer models, or perhaps they just decided they don't sell enough Windows Phones to carry them at all. Who knows?
