We know that Black Friday is all about saving some greenbacks as you gear up to put goodies under the Christmas tree. And we also know that cell phones can be prohibitively expensive which is why we are telling you about Microsoft’s insanely good deal on the Lumia 520.
Microsoft is selling the Nokia Lumia 520 for $49 with no contract. That’s right, a smartphone for $49 with no contract, no loops to jump through or any other tomfoolery. While the Lumia 520 is not the most powerful phone on the market, it is a decent device (we gave it 9/10 in our review) and for $49, it’s a fantastic back-up phone to keep around in case your primary device breaks. Or, if you know you are going to be heading out into the wilderness and don’t want to risk breaking your phone, swap the SIMs and rock out with the Lumia 520 for the weekend or travel with less to worry about as the phone, at $49, is nearly disposable.
The device at this price is for AT&T, and comes with 5 MP camera, 4 inch display, 8 GB of storage and 3G support.
The phone will likely go quickly and there is no word on if Microsoft will be restocking it at that price, so if you were tempted to try out Windows Phone but didn’t want to be locked in, here is a fantastic opportunity.
