“And now, for a limited time, you can get a full year of your favorite songs when you bundle one of these great-sounding phones with a 12-month Xbox Music Pass. You’ll get access to millions of songs anywhere you are.”

Said devices are the cheapest in the Windows Phone 8 series, but can still deliver appealing capabilities to their users. They come with a 1GHz dual-core processor inside, 512MB of RAM, and 4-inch screens.

Moreover, the two smartphones include a 5-megapixel camera on the back, GPS receiver, WiFi and Bluetooth, and the usual set of sensors.
