Nokia Lumia 530

Big W is having one of its one-day sales again. Special mentions are the $39 Nokia Lumia 530, $15 scooters, $6 for 6 Hot Wheels, $248 Windows 8.1 laptop, etc. I was planning to be there first thing in the morning, but as usual, it didn't happen.

Passed by this afternoon, and was surprised that there are still two boxes of Lumia 530 left. Do I need another smartphone when I still have two spares? No. Is it cheap? Yes. So I bought one. By the time I thought about it, and decided to get the last remaining one, it's already been sold.

Here are some specifications to convince you that $39 is a bargain:

• Runs Windows Phone 8.1
• Comes with Nokia Mix Radio, Nokia HERE Maps
• 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Krait CPU with Snapdragon 200 SOC
• 512MB RAM, 4GB internal storage, up to 128GB microSD removable storage, 15GB free cloud storage
• Telstra pre-paid SIM with $10 credit
• 3 months free international Skype calls
• extra coloured cover
