AT&T has just announced that starting on Friday the 26th they will add the Nokia Lumia 520 to their pre-paid "Go Phone" line up for only $99.99. Which is an incredible deal and is a full fifty dollars cheaper than what T-Mobile is charging for their version of the this device the Lumia 521. The Nokia Lumia 520/521 has been flying off the shelves in every market that sells it and is now the world's best selling Windows Phone. This move by AT&T will only serve to accelerate the 520's monster sales growth. It seems that Nokia has finally found a way to get mass adoption of Windows Phone and compete with the low end Android devices all at the same time. Full press release below.
