Best Buy is continuing its Cyber Savings deals and is offering the T-Mobile Nokia Lumia 530 no-contract smartphone for Cyber Monday and Cyber Week at a huge savings. The Windows Phone 8.1 handset includes 4G LTE, a 5-megapixel camera, and more, now on sale for just $34.99.
While Apple and Samsung continue to battle it out in the high-end smartphone arena, Microsoft has seen its greatest smartphone success in the entry-level market. At its Worldwide Partner Conference in July, Microsoft announced that the Nokia Lumia 520, launched in 2013, has quickly become the company's best selling smartphone with over 12 million sold. With this kind of declaration, it only made sense for Microsoft and Nokia to put a strong focus on the latest member of the Lumia 500 series.
T-Mobile is currently offering the no-contract Nokia Lumia 530 in retail stores and online for $129.76. Best Buy is undercutting T-Mobile's price as part of its Cyber Savings deals and is selling the smartphone for a significant savings at $34.99.
Some of the Nokia Lumia 530's highlights include:
Cortana - Cortana is your personal assistant on your Windows Phone. She's there to make things easier for you and make sure you're always up to date on the things that matter most to you.
People Hub - Skim your friends' status posts, see their latest photos, or post your own updates right from the Hub - no need for separate apps.
Wi-Fi Calling - Call normally, or use Wi-Fi when you don't have cellular reception.
HD Camcorder - Record videos in 720p resolution.
4G LTE - Browse the web, download content, and stream media faster on T-Mobile's 4G network.
