I want a phone which should look stylish ...I am using my Omnia W from last 2 years...its very very good...SMOLED screen and gorilla glass ..its sleek and very durable...
I dont want a dull looking big mobile that wont fit my pocket vertically

BTW I can wait a bit if there is any chance of a better handset then Sony XSP in 1-2 months

Honestly, you should wait until 2014. I don't think it makes sense buying XSP now when its much improved 2014 successor will launch by end Q1 2014

I have no problem in waiting..but end of Q1 is 4 months away...thats soo long ....and I dont see any handsets better then Sony XSP under 20k ...and I have heard that Xperia c have better screen then 2013 other models...that means they are improving on the screen now ...
I have to say that viewing angle of SMOLED is too good

But SP screen is much inferior, so I don't know if you can adjust to it.

And yes, next year all XPERIA models will come with IPS screens. No screen complaints.

Xperia SP is easily the best handset in 20K range.

Xperia C uses mediatek CPU and overpriced. Lenovo P780 is the best handset under 20K if you consider Mediatek.

omnia w and 920 are in different category ;-) 920 looks superior and windows phone 8 is looking better that WP 7 ones. it has superior camera but limited os functionalities :-( WP8 needs more maturity.

ok, no problem. i was not trying to sell a 920. but remember that it launched for 34k(remember in chennai express :p) and now 20k is a good buy for the price. Since you already have a windows phone and decided to wait, get something better at that time :)
