MS is just wise, it won't allow you to use an app that will cause lag to your system, but to be honest, i'd rather have an app lag my system up a bit, rather than not to be able to completely use it... and by the way xperia x8 is probably half the price of nokia lumia 510 since its only about 5k here in the Philippines

              "Ultimately, the best value offering might be outside the Windows Phone 7 realm. The Sony Xperia U costs the same as the Lumia 510, but offers a vastly superior chipset with dual-core CPUs, double the storage and the immense app catalog of Android."

              I don't know about the mobile phone price in India, but I guess they sell Nokias a lot cheaper there, maybe they have a local production facility there whereas Sony's phones must be imported directly from Japan.

                          With 4GB of storage will last a week until the "Other" memory space if full. I always knew that buying cheap is a waste of money.

                            In India
                            Lumia 510 rs 9500/

                            Xperia till rs 9000/
                            This phone should be compared with tipo rather then U and it excels in all fields here. Moreever androids in this budget hangs a lot and 510 is most fluid experience rs 10000 can offer
                            selected it over androids for following reasons
                            Better call quality
                            Battery lasts full day with 3-4 hours of surfing
                            Good display to read office and pdf files
                            Good integration of Facebook
                            Counters is great to keep track of data calls and messages
                            Good maps
                            Can see PowerPoint presentations
                            Better Facebook chat
                            Descent camera in day
                            And that's what was needed by me as far as low memory for music is concerned lot of songs are available at Nokia music to listen live

                                  Should just lower the price of the lumia 800 and add a front camera to it.

                                  the N9/Lumia 800 is still the best designed phone ever.
