The $149.95 price tag, however, can be split in three ways via HSN's FlexPays. With the FlexPays option, the consumer can purchase the Lumia 521 for three payments of $49.98.

Regardless of the payment option, whether buying at full price of FlexPays, HSN is offering to device with free shipping.

The consumer also has the option of including the HSN Protection Plus for $19.95, which is a two-year electronics replacement plan

With the HSN purchase of the Lumia 521, the consumer will receive a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, AC adapter, DC car charger, USB cable, screen protector, a cloth, activation card, one-year limited warranty and a T-Mobile SIM card.

On Amazon, the Lumia 521 is priced cheaper than HSN. Amazon has priced the Lumia 521 at $99, a savings of $40.99 from the regular listed price of $149.99, or a 34 percent savings.
