Since you aren't used to apps and stuff you can consider a Lumia E720. Best camera under 20k and good build quality. However no of quality unpaid apps and games are very very very low compared to what you get on Android.

The advantage is a very smooth hassle free OS experience.

I dont agree with you here.. if OP isn't used to apps and stuff doesn't mean he should not consider them while getting his new phone.. if apps are nt important for OP then u are absolutely right in suggesting the 720 but otherwise I wouldn't suggest it as apps are a major factor when buying a new phone nowadays..

^^ Its not like its BB OS or something ! There are a decent amount of apps but few games. Not everyone plays games so it depends on person to person.

Thanks guys. Went with the Xperia L. Got it for Rs 15,864/- from Flipkart.

Considering the intended use which doesn't involve too many applications, get the Lumia 720. An excellent phone, with great camera as usual from Nokia and sturdy build.

You can also look at the Lumia 820 at 21k from indiatimes.

Also check if the discount coupon from the following link works.
If it works then you would get the Lumia 820 at 18k.
