Nokia Lumia 520 reduced to £99.95 at CPW
The Nokia Lumia 520 was only announced at MWC last month, and yet it’s already on sale at Carphone Warehouse – they’ve knocked the price of the bargain Windows Phone 8 handset down to £99.95 plus £10 top-up on O2.

Phones purchased from Carphone Warehouse normally come SIM unlocked regardless of the network they are purchased on, but if you want to make sure then the SIM-only version is priced at £149.95, £50 more.

We had some hands-on time with the Lumia 520 at MWC last month, and from what we saw of the device it appeared to be a very capable handset that could well be the Windows Phone equivalent of the Samsung Galaxy Mini all those years ago – a great success that brought Android to younger and more budget-conscious consumers.

The Lumia 520 packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, 8GB of onboard storage (with a memory card slot) and 512MB of RAM into a 9.9mm thick shell with a WVGA (800×480) 4 inch screen – whilst definitely the baby brother of the Lumia range, it should be more than capable of handling Windows Phone 8.
