Users in Italy can now purchase the Lumia 520, the cheapest smartphone in Nokia’s Windows Phone 8 lineup, three days before the device was officially set to become available in the country.

At the moment, the mobile phone can be seen listed on this page in the nstore.it, with a price tag of €199.90 attached to it, as windowsphonino notes in a recent post.

The handset was confirmed for Italy earlier this week with an April 8 release date attached to it, and with all the specs and features that were announced for it right from the start.

Thus, users who will purchase it will enjoy a 4-inch screen, a 1GHz dual-core processor, 512MB of RAM, 8GB of internal memory, microSD memory card slot, a 5-megapixel photo snapper on its back, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS receiver, and the like.
