should i replace my smartphone for the nokia lumia 521?

[Jack]

Broc,

I would definitely recommend the Nokia Lumia 521.

It has Facebook and Twitter, Xbox, Office and Skype built in. There's Nokia Music for completely free and unlimited music mixes, and Nokia's HERE Maps (which can be worked completely offline). The home screen makes it really easy to organise all your favourite people, apps and information.

It offers amazing data speeds on T-Mobile's 4G HSPA+ network. It will take superior images, HD video and it has a dedicated camera button. It has 8GB of storage and expandable memory, and a super sensitive 4" touch screen. It will offer much faster and smoother operation. The Windows Phone Store definitely does not have as many apps as Google Play, but 150,000 apps cover most of the essentials. For example, there is no official Instagram app, but there is 'Instance' - which allows you to like, comment, register, upload, follow and find Facebook friends - just like the official Instagram app.

I hope this helps!
