Thanks. Right from the beginning i was leaning towards wp+ios not because i dislike android. I have no problem using android but somewhere i feel that android has become very common and get updates too late (no offense to android lovers). The phone makers release new android updates whenever they like, there is no sense of urgency. Some unlucky users keep waiting for months for updates. I know they can install custom roms but not all users are familiar and even some phone comes with locked bootloader. As soon as a new android version is released google should distribute it to the mobile companies with a condition that all the mobile companies will have to prepare there version of os (touch wiz etc) within 60 days and start seeding the update to compatible handsets from 61th day onwards or else google will cancel there licence but i dont think this will ever happen. Nexus phones are not officially available here and even if did, it will be useless for media junkies due to only 16gb storage and no micro sd slot.
I also feel those who are not app crazy or advanced user should avoid buying android. One friend of mine who is also my neighbour bought samsung note 2 last year and she only use her phone for calls, web browsing, music, facebook, i used her phone many times and i dont think she ever logged into the playstore . It is like using a v8 sports car for daily grocery shopping, so unfair

Good DecisionHi friends, thanks for sharing your suggestions. I have now decided to purchase nokia lumia 820 from flipkart for 23499. I realized there is no use of buying wp8 phone with only 512mb ram because a game like temple run that runs fine in 512mb android phone requires atleast 1gb ram in wp8. Slowly normal wp apps too will start demanding atleast 1gb so its better safe then sorry. After buying nokia lumia 820 i will left with 11500 so i will keep it and continue saving more and will buy ipad mini 2 later when it will officially launch in india
