I'm surprised very few people recommend the 820, I own one and it's great, I have a few gripes with the Windows Phone OS, but overall it's very efficient; regarding the phone, it's very slippery on the default case, but if you can, try getting the rugged one (Nokia Protective or Active Shell CC-3040) or get at least a TPU protective case, the reason is that the LCD (or OLED screen to be precise) is very fragile, which is curious because the digitizer is damage resistant (not Gorilla Glass, but it resist pretty well).

I'm planning to buy Nokia Lumia guys, any suggestions plz (Priority is good RAM & processor speed but cam & screen size doesn't matter much)...15k to 25k INR budget & Microsoft Windows Phone OS only :)

I have a Lumia 900, overall its a decent phone. The camera is great at 8MP and a really useful feature for me is that it has a radio. There seems to be a bug, the screen goes black and i need to restart, it seems to happen very occasionally. not sure what the problem is. there is definately less apps available than in the android and ios stores. I only paid approx 1/5 of the price of an iphone, so i do think it is better value. If I were to ignore price, i'd say an iphone is better, but adding price into my decision, I would say lumia. I have not tried an android phone yet!

I have a Nokia Lumia 800. It has a design fault! dirt somehow gets inside the phone and lodges its self around the proximity sensor and can blank the screen out when you are trying to make or end a call. That has been my only complaint in the handset.

I don't think that fault has anything to do with dirt getting into the phone. From my experience it happens when you make a call and cover the sensor and/or lock the phone. You described exactly, the phone gets locked, stucked, frozen...it is REALLY annoying. Talking about Lumia 800, I'll not even comment the cover Nokia put on the charger (mini-USB) connection, it's a magnetic-plastic flappy thing stupid and pointless. Other than that, it's a good phone.

I had a 920 and it was great, no problems and I love the Windows Phone OS. I just upgraded to a 1520 and it is the best Windows Phone so far.

Lumia 928. Best phone I've owned so far. I haven't had it long, so I cannot speak to longevity. It's designed well. It's fast and performs considerably better than the Android it replaced. Software is good and you can uninstall what you don't want. I'm very happy with the battery life. I charge it once a day, but I'm pretty sure I could go two. Location is on all the time and so is Wi-Fi. I couldn't go a work day with my Android if I had either on.
I bought a 928 one week after launch and about a month later the speaker started acting up during phone calls to the point I had to use speaker phone all the time. I got a replacement through Verizon (awesome customer support on this btw) and a couple months later the replacement started acting up. I think the problem is that it started shortly after I used the headphone jack on both phones. Apparently from what I've searched online, the headphone jack is low quality and in conjunction with the Sim tray design, they cause a bad connection at the speaker? Anyway, I just press lightly on the back of the phone between the camera and the headphone jack when it acts up and everything is fine. I'll swap it just before it goes out of warranty. All that being said, work wanted to get rid of all Blackberrys and their only options were Android phones and IPhones (neither of which I care to own) so I put in to be a test subject for the 928 last month. The sys admins got two in to test and 2 weeks later, a shiny new 928 shows up to replace my Blackberry, so now I carry two 928s. My battery lasts about 2 days for me with the Glance feature on all the time. The updated Glance with notifications is great for anyone that doesn't have this enabled. The only thing that's missing on these phones is VPN support. Maybe with the 8.1 update...
