3k android phones aren't worth it IMO. wait, save money and get Moto E.

or you can check the Firefox Phones for wifi.

I use the BQ37(Jellybin) model for few hours,not bad though. It is the Plus(Kitkat) version of the model.

whatsapp: yes
network problem: none

Battery life is not up to the mark as a 1800mah, it looks like 1400mah or something like that. In regular usage it barely last a day. But at that price i think its ok. Beside that screen resolution is good and app performance is decent.
If u can spend 1k more then get the Lenovo A369i as suggested by sam. It is branded and decent spec as well.
