I know 'When in India?' has become sort of a joke now, but I still smile when I come across it, lol!
Anyway, I realized that I haven't officially introduced myself here before even though I have posted in a few forums before. So here I go -
This is Uday, 24 and I'm from Chennai, India. I've been a long time admirer of the Windows Phone UI and even when I had an Android I used to tell myself that One Day I'll make the jump!!
And that jump happened last year when I purchased my Lumia 830 (black)!!
I'll be honest and admit that if I had waited a bit more I would have gotten it for a lot lesser, but I was restless and purchased it at Rs. 28,000 which was the launch price. (I still sometimes wonder how many people in India have purchased the 830) Anyway to this day, I never regretted my choice because I think Lumia 830 is a perfect combination of style and substance. I love that it's got a SD card slot, Glance, removable back cover (which the 930 doesn't) and is also thinner. I'm also a hobbyist photographer and this phone also satisfied my need to have a quality camera around without the need for a dedicated camera. Some of the results I have achieved with this device are simply superb and have wowed by friends from time to time!
Yes, there's the occasional bug now and then but nothing too detrimental. I love my Lumia and will never back to Android (too boring!!!).
I like to stay away from specheads for the baseless junk they spew out from time to time. "But, but, you get the same specs in a Moto G for half the price!!!!!" went everyone when I told my friends about my purchase decision. Comparing Moto G and Lumia 830, seriously? #Joke. I think higher-end Lumias are a different class altogether.
P.S. I was in an elevator the other day with four other people and they all had Lumias! I could recognize two 730s, 520 and a 640! Had tears in my eyes! #ThereIsHopeYet
