Although Nokia Lumia 520 and Lumia 720 have been initially slated for an April 1 release in the UK, the latter has only been launched today.

The only carrier to offer the Lumia 720 is O2, but that should change in the next few days. However, the SIM free Nokia Lumia 520 is nowhere to be seen.

Several major retailers have confirmed that they will receive the first shipment of Lumia 520 units on April 22. Amazon UK and Clove claim that they will sell the smartphone for £200/€235/$300 and £170/€200/$255, respectively.

The smartphone will arrive with Windows Phone 8 onboard, as well as a decent 1GHz dual-core processor.

The Lumia 520 packs 512MB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory, which can be further expanded up to 64GB via microSD memory card.
