$115 with $60 mail-in rebate. This is absurd, but I thought someone here might be interested.

Excellent little phone, given the price. The locked version normally retails at $100, and is the only phone in its category that is a really nice experience.

$90 with free shipping if you'd rather not deal with rebates.

can you provide a non referral link? they are blocked at work and i'd like to pick this up
nm: Just search "TD12-2014 YTT" and you'll find it. I initially had trouble because I had an extra space after YTT and it didn't work.

shall be a great bday gift for a friend with a 5 year old dumbphone.

Seems you have to install and activate the security software in the combo to get the rebate. Still a great deal if you're up for that.

TERMS & CONDITIONS
The product must be activated prior to rebate redemption. Activation requires a valid credit card in order to establish your software subscription. Subscription fees will be automatically charged to your account upon expiration of the initial term.

I don't see the initial term anywhere, so they may or may not hit you up for more money before you can get the rebate.

Supposedly these security software rebates that TigerDirect constantly promotes are rather sketchy.

Not up for the rebste but the TD price of the phone is a little less than most of the other vendors.

I'd never do one of these rebates as I don't trust TigerDirect much let alone a rebate where you have to activate their product with your credit card.

I'm considering getting the phone though as a Windows Phone Touch of sorts considering it has a micro SD slot and turn by turn GPS software (you can download the maps ahead so you don't need cell service). Paul Thurott (a Windows guy, but can be very critical of Windows products) has a short write up on it: http://winsupersite.com/windows-phone/praise-nokia-lumia-520

The Lumia 52(1) is probably the best $100 I've ever spent. Absolutely amazing piece of tech for the price. Crazy versatile. And Windows Phone is all different kinds of charming.

I'd recommend getting the 521 (the T-Mobile ver of the 520) since T-Mobile has a $29.99/mo prepaid plan with 5GBs of 4G and unlimited texting.

The rebate requires activation of the AV suite. That just sucks.

 

[vi edit]

Wow. All the way down to $90? That's crazy. That's half the price of an iPod and has an SD slot. Plus you can drag and drop music files to it. Almost worth it as a music player without even adding a cellular plan.

Well, after water damaged 4S cannot be revived, and not due for update for another year, this would make it for now. $90 it is!
