Ubergizmo: Best of MWC for the Nokia Lumia 720.

Tom’s Hardware: Best of Mobile World Congress for the Lumia 720 and Lumia 520.
LaptopMag: Best Budget Smartphone: Nokia Lumia 520.
“With the Lumia 520, Nokia has proved its dedication to bringing high-end features to lower price points, making the Windows Phone 8 experience available to an entirely new set of users worldwide”
PC Pro: Best Windows Phone for Nokia Lumia 520 and “Greatest Hits” for Nokia Lumia 720.
“It feels much more expensive than the price would suggest, and it packs a powerful dual-core, 1GHz processor and 8GB of internal storage. It’s another sign that Nokia is back on form.”
