Advertisements When Nokia went WP, Android seemed to be the go to place for the avid Symbian fan. It had more of the freedom that as powerusers, they expect. But with all that extra power seems to come a lot more responsibility. Like staying on top of what’s open. How many times on my N8 […]

Amazon lists both the unlocked 520 and the AT&T 520, the latter goes for just $19.99. Nokia Lumia 520 GoPhone (AT&T)   That’s cheaper than a fairly decent dumb phone.

Weekend Watch: Always Listening Cortana on Nokia Lumia 930 “Hey Cortana” with Lumia Denim.
