    It was fairly easy to use with a logical screen. Windows works for a phone which was a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, it was accidnetally dropped into water and it did not survice that. Tried to revive, but was forced to purchase another which I have as it is still a good value compared to m,any other worthy, but pricey phones. This time I hope to own it long enough to really learn its capabilities.

    As I'm from Brazil, I wanted a cell phone to talk with my friends in the USA and in Brazil while I was on vacation. And I wanted a good cell phone, that I had access to the net, with a good camera and some other things. As I always go to the USA I sure will use it for a long time.

    Goods - Price - easy UI - Average battery Bad - Windows OS [ Too many animations - 512 RAM - Really hurts performance - Lack of apps, even if there are , they are just too slow. - Considering the total strength battery should be better - Bad camera

    Lumia 521 really low-end smartphone

    I bought the Lumia 521 to use with T-Mobile. And the price is right. But it takes a lot of getting to used to the fact that I have to charge the phone so often. Windows 8 for the Lumia is okay and will be better once there are more apps to work with it.

    WP 8 is such a smooth interface and plugs-in to all my other device interfaces (Work PC, HTPC...). Love it. Much nicer than crash-heavy Android, IMHO. Like it even better than iOS. Hardware is plenty powerful. Phone feels solid in the hand.

    Best $100 I've ever spent. It has easily & properly taken the place of my last phone & made it look as though my old smart phone was an old school brick phone.

    I have always used iPhones, and still do. I had to get this phone for a special case, and I actually quite like it. It has made me consider using Windows phones in the future, but for now, sticking with my iPhone. If you want a cheap smartphone, this is a great one to start with.
