in india. Nokia is probably a better choice to go for. otherwise as well. they are solely focused on their windows phone devices. and have exclusive apps for their own phones. at least nokia drive would become available on all devices in the future. but still. you can consider nokia phones comparable to nexus branded android devices. getting priority support from the manufacturer.

i think, you made that call depending on the pricing ?
win8 should bring similar pricing from Nokia, so u can grab 2nd gen win8 of nokia in a year or so
Yes, pricing, and also Samsung supports normal sim, removable battery and has front camera. All these things were missing in Nokia Lumia (I guess 710 has removable battery).
But looking at apps and support Nokia provides for WP, I think for WP its better to buy Nokia handsets.

Windows Phone 8 to include 'Rooms' group chat with calendar, photos, and notes sharing | The Verge
Another news (leak) from The Verge
Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 operating system will include a new Rooms feature that will allow friends and family to chat in a virtual room and share data. Sources close to Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 plans have detailed the new feature to us and revealed that the software maker will launch it as part of a wave of new devices this fall. Although Windows Phone already has a Groups feature, Rooms is said to be a new option that will create an interactive group full of friends or family.
A text message will invite users to join, and once accepted Rooms participants can share calendar items, photos, and notes privately. Rooms will also include a group chat feature that allows participants to chat with each other. Rooms can be created in a similar way to Groups in Windows Phone 8, and Microsoft will provide a default "Best Friends" group and "Family Room" built into the People Hub. We are expecting Microsoft to detail and announce the feature at a joint Nokia event on Wednesday.
