<\/a><\/center>The Lumia 520 is Nokia’s<\/a> most important smartphone in 2013 \u2014 it’s the budget Windows Phone that is supposed to recapture low-end smartphone share in emerging markets. A bit of digging has revealed that India-based retailer \u200bFlipkart just hiked prices on the Lumia 520<\/a>, which has been in and out of stock since launching in early April. The 520’s price had been 9,999 rupees since it first debuted, but has since\u00a0moved to 10,299 rupees in late May<\/a>. It is extremely rare for smartphone prices to bounce up two months after launching. Nokia’s Lumia 520 keeps selling out at Flipkart, India’s leading e-tailer site, even though its production should have ramped up strongly by now. Is this a sign of remarkably strong demand for the low-end Lumia, or a symptom of Nokia’s production bottlenecks?<\/p>\n
