Help me choose a phone

Continued from this thread: [url=http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/2840847/2]http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/2840847/2[/url]

So basically, I decided to get a Windows phone, since I don't like androids, and I basically already have an iPad at home.
Ignore the thing about the plan tho, as I've decided what prepaid plan to get.
However there are a couple of phones that hit my sweet spot and I need your help helping me choose one.
Listed from cheapest to most expensive
I will also list pros and cons.

Nokia Lumia 520
[i]Pros:[/i]
Cheap bestselling prepaid phone
Has free Nokia MixRadio, which is a free music streaming service
Color customizable case

[i]Cons:[/i]
Needs to be unlocked
No front camera
Small history of this phone breaking down early

Huawei Ascend W1
[i]Pros:[/i]
Nice price for a phone
Comes pre-unlocked
The only phone in this list that has a front camera (yea I can use skype with this)

[i]Cons:[/i]
Will miss out on free music streaming
Needs to be flashed to Windows 8.1, which involes a risky process

Nokia Lumia 635
[i]Pros:[/i]
Latest phone with a somewhat high price
Quad core processor, which means quite fast
Has free Nokia MixRadio, which is a free music streaming service
Color customizable case

[i]Cons:[/i]
Needs to be unlocked
No front camera

@ilikefoodand lol i didn't know that. But yea, having two plans (tmobile and another) isn't exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for your input anyway.

I've the 635 for about 3 weeks now.
Haven't been using it much b/c I don't use phones often.
T-Mobile has a feature to "Wi-Fi Call".
Connect to wi-fi and call/send/receive anywhere using your own # for free.

I think it makes a good house phone tbh. If you wanna go out, use your prepaid minutes.
