I think he meant anything else other than Android and iOS..

Take a look at HTC Mozart WP7, meets all your needs

Wait for upcoming Nokia Phones (600, 700, 701), much better than C7 (IMO)...

Unless Google does something revolutionary in ICS update, Android will not be able to stand up against WP7.5...

You might consider some of the new phones such as Defy+ or the Xperia Ray ...

i think OP should wait for motorola defy+ waterproof (IP67 certified), dustproof, hard build...1 GHz proccy, 3.7" capacitive gorilla glass display..480x854..android 2.3 gingerbread..3G, wifi..5mp autofocus with flash..lacks dedicated shutter key though..but if OP compromises it then it will be the great deal under 20k..:)
