Hey guys ...
Managed to find htc explorer for 6.3k , lumia 510 for 6.6k. tipo for 6.5k.. all @ snapdeal

So which one to get? All of these fit in my budget...
And im okay with WP 7.8 OS, As long it has all nessasary apps ( I dont play games)

And presonally I think lumia 510 is better than remaining two in camera, Display sections respectively .....
Limited storage is problem ... But I think I can manage with that.

Any help will be welcome

Nokia lumia 510 has better display and camera but too low on internal memory only 256MB of ram while Sony tipo has better sound quality but display is worse my suggestion don't buy any of these get huwaie y300.

Better stick with NL510 as it won't lag, freeze or stutter like cheap entry level droids.

In terms of generation:
HTC Explorer < Xperia Tipo < Lumia 510.

As you said, L510 is better than Tipo at every point except RAM and in-built storage. But, are you ok with 4GB internal storage of L510?

Yup....
Totally fine with 4gb memory ...

And guys I cant extend my budget , so I think L510 is the best bet out there...
And I know we cannot expect too much with a phone costing 6-6.5k ....
Should I go ahead with L510 ?

If you're fine with 4GB internal storage then go ahead :)
