I see photography in your requirements. Go for 720 if u are really serious about it.

Photography is necessary..but not that important. Only think that keeps me away from it is 512mb RAM, that's why i'm asking abt L725, its price and it's release date! any guess??

As 525 is just announced, 725 is at least 2 to 3 months away from its launch.

should be around 18k. 820 may receive another pricecut so you basically have 2 options: 820 (with pricecut) or 725.

820 with price cut will also do..apart from increased ram is there anything different from 720 that i need to know? (Front facing camera, display quality, battery life and overall performance)

As 525 is just announced, 725 is at least 2 to 3 months away from its launch.

you sure of the launch timeline? i read somewhere that it's release date somewhere in Jan.

With the entry of L525, we can surely see L725 or something in between 720 and 820, with 1GB RAM.
But,we may have to wait for the official announcement.

Yes. As of now only certain games need 1GB, and not apps.
Though, the gamemakers release another version for 512MB.

whatsapp crashes sometimes when you scroll down through older posts which i think is due to the ram limitation. even fantasia painter crashes often when you try to edit photo with many effects.
