Opt for Android anyday.
Have a look at Xperia U, the only disadvantage in that is you get 2GB memory for apps and 4GB for all other stuff.

It is with dealer warranty and no manufacturer warranty so not recommended.

There are so many Sony phone's like xperia u, neo v etc being sold at very low prices on ebay, but only with dealer warranty. and its only sony, I rarely find htc or samsung or motorolla at such rates. I wonder why.....hmmmmm:conspiracy:

@OP if you're not planning on carrying a ton of music on your phone, then the Sony Xperia U is a Good choice.

i have the same doubt...one guy is selling at 12500(almost less than 4000 from flipkart)...the feedback these guys are getting pretty good...and i have a silly doubt...even if it comes with dealer warranty how much can it cost for a repair...can it be more than 4000???.......so isnt this a good deal???

I bought a lumia 610 and sold it for 2k less back to the same shop in order to get an android. True Story.

That's cuz Sony phones are cheaper in countries like Thailand, which is where these Ebay models come from.

* ANDROID !!! no WP as of now !
*^as mentioned above no WP so dont go for radar(radar wont get WP8 either)
*i am NOT a sony fanboy but i'd suggest you go for xperia sola(bit costlier than your budget) or U(if lac of micro sd is not a problem)

I am also in hunt for a new phone. I checked out Xperia U and One V .. I was hugely disappointed with Xperia U with the size. One V looked really good,but non user replaceable battery is a -ve.

That one is with dealer warranty and not manufacturer warranty so not worth.
Better get Neo V for 16k from local market

if you want WP go for lumia 710 cause it will be well supported, it will get bluetooth file transfer too with WP 7.8

at this budget WP is definitely a good option, inspite of what all the android addicts suggest over here :)
