IMO, For a first time smartphone user, WP8 makes more sense than Android. Because, not all smartphone users wants to mess with their smartphone. There is no point in buying a Android phone and not customizing or rooting it.

anyway, If you want to stick with android, Galaxy S Advance is what you want. If you can extend your budget by a bit, then wait for Xperia L.

+100 Rightly said. From a feature phone to smartphone jumpers perspective there'll be nothing much he/she'll be missing with wp8 on the contrary there's lots to gain

Q800 or mmx hd? Id say both are good on paper, never tried one myself, but maybe will buy one in the coming time.
If you want a 5" screen the mmx else q800.
Or if you want windows, then Id say lumia 620

My vote is for XOLO Q800. Purchased the phone two week back and loving it. regarding Micromax Canvas HD, plenty of models are suffering from varaity of bugs in the OS. Sudden restarting and Network Freeze are the most common ones. The restarting problem was present in the model tested by DIGIT. On the other hand, the XOLO Q800 does not have any such issues with its stock rom and the phone also looks and feels better than Micromax model. Also it offers better Camera quality compared to Canvas HD, compared them both side by side.
One main thing to consider while purchasing Phones from Indian Vendors: Open source support. These companies are not exactly capable enough to release software updates in regular intervals to fix the glitches present in the phone and you need to chose the model which does have better Open source support in different Online Android Build forums like XDA. XOLO Q800 does have an excellent support, all the rooting methods with CWM and TWRP recovery installation methods have been released and it actually has a dedicated forum for it. You will find a ANDROID 4.2.1 based Rom for it which is having Sony Bravia Engine, HTC Beats Audio Plugin, Dolby Mobile Plugin, Experia Acid Audio Engine and walkman software preinstalled. The sound quality and display quality have been enhanced a lot after I updated my phone with it.
