That definitely is a nice price.
Cortana has been causing a bit of a stir as some bloggers have been saying that is should be restricted to people over 15. That would suggest the lady is a little more risque which means it will be a big hit, especially for those under 15. ;-)

Nokia Lumia 521 new unlocked - $88.74. I've had this for several months and it is nice.
Will receive WP 8.1 Update this summer which will include voice assist feature Cortana.

(OK yes - this is a little marketing ;-))

Nokia Lumia prices can be real cheap.
I have seem an unlocked Nokia Lumia selling for $145.00
OTOH this is a fun home made project for hardware hackers, that shows just what can be done. (It looks more like a sandwich than a cell phone.) ;-)

USD 158? Real cheap?
You can get a real Nokia Lumia for less. And it is ready to go.
