11. If you have already considered a phone then please mention the model.
A: Xperia M dual, Xperia L, Samsung Grand quattro

Been a Nokia N73 user for around 6 years, its starting to dye out. Since I will be having two sim cards in near future, iam very inclined towards m dual, but in comparison with L lesser internal memory.
will M's 4gb will enough for normal usage considering i wont be playing any heavy games also is M's camera good enough. The only flaw i find in L is that it has no dual \sim version, is it so better than M dual that i should carry around second phone also along.
Also need a opinion on Grand quattro, since its quad core wouldnt it be battery starved? Also I find it a bit large, which I dont prefer.

Need an opinion on their music quality, I have sansa zip and would really like the phone to be on par.
Are there any flaws that I am missing in any of the phones?

I would really appreciate any input.

Thanks.

Screen size is not a big of an issue here for me. A good camera is anyway welcome.
The only thing I am concerned is the internal memory. Since I have never used an Android before I dont have an idea about memory requirements, but one is for sure that I wont be playing any heavy games only the usual puzzle sorta ones. So is M dual's 4gb enough or is it deal breaker.

Also need a reliable and durable phone, as I wont be upgrading it for a long time.
 
Don't go device below 1GB RAM. 4GB internal storage is also good enough if not using for heavy gaming. You can add 16/32GB class 10 card and use it to install more apps and store data.
