    Hi Percy,

    I will be happy to share my experience with the Lumia 521...

    Firstly it is important to remember that it is a budget phone, and therefore cannot be compared with Nokia's flagships in terms of build quality or experience. However when compared with Android devices in its price range, it will definelty stand out... First let me walk you through its pros

    PROS
    • 4 inch display is sharp and vivid, with a reasonable 480x800 pixel resolution
    • 5MP camera captures reasonably good photos, even performs well in low light
    • includes microSD for storage expansion
    • Enjoyed the dedicated camera button
    • Windows Phone experience is fluid, no lag and capable of undertaking most tasks with ease
    • Good battery life, gets me through a day of use without any issues
    • Offline maps and Camera enhancements from Nokia, make the device fun to use
    • Powerful dual-core processor


    CONS
    • display is prone to smudging and fingerprints
    • only 512MB of RAM, limits availability of WP apps
    • locked to T-Mobile, though you can unlock it after using for a few months
    • Tends to be a little slippery to hold - The material used for the phone body is solid, but tends to slip out of the hand... I found this frustrating when attempting to capture single hand photos...
    • The speaker is placed on the back of the phone, which can muffle an incoming call if phone is placed face up


    Overall the Lumia 521 is one of the best value devices I can think of... I am equally impressed with the Moto G from Motorola which is priced at $179. However Nokia has been giving this phone for as low as $59 this holiday season, making it a top pick for me

    These are just the few I could come up with... I promise to update this if I remember something I missed
