So... when the WP8 devices were first released, I wanted one like dammit. I filtered from the 920 to the 8X to the 820 where I sat for a while. Then, like a numbskull, I sold my 820 and reverted back to my iPhone 4S. That was a decision I've regretted since I made it.
I decided to get back to WP8, but I'm nowhere near upgrade time and I don't have the dough to plop down for a similar phone off-contract. So I decided to get a 520 and see if it would work with my regular AT&T SIM. So far, it seems to be working perfectly (and I haven't yet contacted AT&T to switch out my iPhone data plan, heh.)
As far as the phone is concerned, I can tell by its heft and materials that it's a lower-end phone but the quality is still very nice. The screen looks good, it's snappy and responsive, and gets me back on the WP8 platform until I can upgrade to a higher-end model. All in all, not a bad little device... I'm quite impressed for $100.
