I am open to any other options too in the sub 20K category.

I will give more importance to a phone that is hassle free to use, than that aesthetics. More priority will given to phone which has good call quality and wifi/3g connectivity than screen resolution and camera performance.

I am looking for a dual sim phone, does S3 sport a dual sim version?

Also has any one here got a hands-on with Lenovo S820? Seems to be on par with the P780 but with far lesser issues on wifi connectivity. Would the S820 be a better choice at the expense of battery backup?

P780 is not good for:
3 and 6

although all 5 inches android phones can be used for reading eBooks, none are good at it; owing to their small screen.

It doesnt stop the voracious readers though. My cousin sister was reading novels ( txt files) on her old mobile with 1.8 in screen. Last year she got xperia mini (3 in screen) and now reads novels on it. She has no desire to upgrade.
