Gaming on Batteries' Triverse writes, "The specs of the 521 include the aforementioned (anemic?) 512 megs of RAM and 1 GHZ Dual Core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4, 8 gigs of internal memory (okay, that is quite low for todays market) and a 4″ 480×800 IPS screen. Also there is a 5 mega pixel forward facing camera but no flash, as mentioned earlier in this review. For comparisons sake, the iPhone 4 has a slightly higher resolution, but smaller, retina display and also carries a 5 mega pixel camera and 512 megs of RAM and comes in 8 gig models also (though of course, there are higher capacity versions available). The iPhone 4 is running a single core 1 GHZ A4 while the 521 is running a dual core Qualcomm."
Maximum PC: If you're on the fence about which subscription-based streaming music service to cozy up with, Microsoft has an offer it hopes you'll find too good to refuse. That offer is a free Nokia Lumia 520 or 521 handset when you purchase a 12-month pass to Xbox Music. That's not a bad deal on a couple of levels, the first being that you're essentially receiving two months free by paying for a year in advance -- Xbox Music typically runs $9.99 per month.
SlashGear - If you thought the Nokia Lumia 520 was good, boy are you going to have a great time with the Nokia Lumia 521. Essentially the same device as you’ll be getting internationally, this T-Mobile iteration of the entry-level Windows Phone 8 device brings the same package (with slightly different radio connections and a few extra apps) to the USA, here with the same bright white back cover as we saw across the sea (one of three, as it were).
WinSupersite: Another brilliant Microsoft web ad pokes fun at the incredibly expensive new Samsung Galaxy S4 smart phone, pointing out that for its sticker shock price of $750, you could buy a great Windows Phone and $600 of other electronics, your choice.
