    Someone even said, using a Windows device can get "irritating" after a while!
    I personally use an Android based phone, and did have a chance to look at & navigate through the Lumia 520 & Lumia 720 in a couple of stores. I really liked the user-interface, & it is a welcome change from Android. Felt comfortable in 5-10 mins of usage on the demo phone. Can't really talk about real world feel of using it day in & day out.
    Then get windows for them..
    i myself own xperia p.. And i can say.. Unless the android phone is not top end with latest chips and high cores.. It will lag.. My phone gives me chills and lags a lott and the battery sucks..
    go for nokia.. Windows is smooth even on a budget.. And nokia is known to gve you good battery and all.. Lumia 520 is one for them..

    Ride safe and have fun.

      Is the user interface simple enough for a newbie?

      Only apprehension being how easy is Windows OS over Android, for a newbie?

            Lumia520 seems the way forward then.

            I seem to agree on the Samsung part. Anything lower than dual core or 1Ghz RAM sucks in their Galaxy range.

              My cousin bro has it.. i have used the lumia for 2weeks.. started hating android after that.. (personal opinion) and for a newbie the interface is real simple.. the ones used to android will need some time to spend with the phone for understanding it.. the colorful UI is there to make it attractive..

                  Guys, how is the Nokia Lumia range? Android phone without good processor sucks big time. Any views for the Lumia range?

                  Cheerz!!

                    The Nokia Lumia 520 seems to be a very nice device, & a great value proposition in the budget.

                    The phone usage shall include moderate levels of social networking & whatsapp.
                    Infact, this is the only branded phone with rich features at this price tag. I think this phone suits him for moderate use. Heavy users will find lack of windows apps and a little slow performance.
                    Sometimes the screen tends to freeze when an incoming call is coming and u have doubts about the batt capacity.
                    These problems I saw in my friends phone. Don't know others are suffering from this same problem
                    Other than that its great VFM phone.

                      Lumia is really good series and IMO best value for money. Get a 720 if budget permits, 920 is a little tit bits thrown in over 720. Good build, smooth, fast and its a Nokia.

                            How is sony xperia J as I am planning to buy a new cellphone for photography and for other things as well. . ? Is it good for photography and I heard that it has image stabiliser, how good is that. . ? Can it take pictures of moving vehicles and give quite a clear picture of it. . ? Thanks in advance. . .

                              Xperia J is no more available in shops, I think they have stopped the production. Maybe you have to buy it online or from the remaining stock left.
                              Its not a good phone as far as I know. Its vey sluggish in performance. It might be the reason, they stopped the production very early.
                              May be you should buy the new Xperia L, though it costs a little more.

                                you said what I wanted to as I have been having plans to buy an Xperia L itself but as my main intention is photography, I wanted to ask how sony xperia J is and yes it has been stopped and I think we get xperia U now. . . So, I thought if I get a good camera cellphone in a lesser price by sony itself, I would go for it. . .
