Here's our brief hands-on with the device:

Must say, I like the price and design although a lil bit too bare for users - no front-facing and no flash for its camera.

Got this phone yesterday and I realized something is missing... It has no Mail tile. Not the messaging tile, but the email Mail tile. The one with the Gmail symbol.

Does anybody have the same problem? or you guys have the tile?

Nokia Lumia 520 user guide states the phone has a Mail tile so I have no idea what is going on. Can't find the tile for download from marketplace also

you need to add the account 1st.
go to setting -> email+accounts -> add an account -> choose the type of account

after successfully adding the account, you will see an extra tile / icon on your live tile screen.
each account will have an extra tile which directly access the mail account.

i have 2 accounts added. works like charm
