Good phone, no contract. Apparently coupon code 135235 will get you an additional $20 off.

Note that T-Mobile will unlock the phone, but they give people a hard time with it. The phone only comes in white - the color options only apply to TPU case options.

Only has six more hours at this price.

I already have one of these - picked up another though for an insurance policy - rough on phones.

I spend quite a bit of my life outdoors and the high contrast - black and white mode - is killer for me.

Nokia has also just updated HERE Drive to the non-Beta version so for $20 you can upgrade Drive from regional navigation to a global license (since you can download the full country maps to the phone, this gives you free offline turn-by-turn navigation in 95 countries).

Not sure about this, but I think the maps have to reside on the phones memory, not the micro SD??

With this phone only having 8 GB of memory, my maps ate up the memory quickly. I got rid of all except California and the directly adjacent states.

Did I understand this incorrectly?

I love this feature by the way, I do a lot of driving in areas that have 0 cell coverage - nice to have the navigation in those areas.

Yes, the map info has to reside on the phone memory, but you can add a microSD card for storing music, photos, and videos, so it's not that big of an issue unless you have a lot of app downloads that need space on the phone storage. The entire US comes out at a little over 2 GB and most other countries weigh in at a few hundred MB, so 8 GB of phone storage gives you a decent amount of space to work with if you utilize an SD card for media.

I picked up a 521 a few weeks ago. Crazy value for the money and WP is really slick.

Mine is still in "packaging" status. Anyone have it ship yet?

 

[jalaram]

Yep. Mine's expected on Wed.

Yeah you missed the boat on this one by about a week. :\

$119 is still the cheapest price around.
