Hey there !
Please help me buying a phone,
I have listed out HTC One V and Nokia lumia 800 (Just a Rough idea) ,
Actually my sister is buying it ..so she does not wants
much but just a non laggy phone with decent looks ,nice camera
and most importantly good and simple user interface.
Basicly she wants to know which interface is better
Windows or Android...and Why ?
You can suggest some other phone too ...
Thank you :)

If she is not much into apps and games and just want a simple and decent interface with a good camera then Lumia 800 is the best option for her

Even is she is not into apps or games... once she starts using andriod.. she will start using the Apps in android..

Go for Android !! .. Also Nokia's touch is not as effective after a few months :(

But there are a lot of fun simple apps on Android that people will really like. Played this game yesterday on the Sony LWW , there was this candle , you have to balance it ( Phone's accelometer ) when it dropped showed a pic of a nuclear blast or something. . really simple looking , very few textures , simple sounds , still , really funny .

Android has tons of Apps one definitely finds many to their liking in time.

Even I agree on that.

^^Wise choice indeed!
I am an android user and the whole app madness is meaningless.
Android is only about quantity of apps...most are useless.
I am yet to find a single decent medical app in Android market.

^^ Just because you were unable to find a decent medical app in the market, means, "Android is only about quantity of apps...most are useless." :lol:

Anyway, good luck finding any such app on WP7. :)

@Tejas.Gupta: Good choice indeed. If WP7 were to be considered, Lumia is the way to go.
