My dad recently upgraded from old Nokia non smartphone, to a Windows phone 8 device. Is there any good online guides for him to look at to familiarize himself with the phone (Me be a Android user I don't know it that well either).

The consensus amongst Android users is that WM phones are dumbed down and easy to use by comparison so you should have no problem just by following your nose.

Well a I said it's my dad who has the phone, not me. I've now found a nice looking guide for him to read.

My 79 year old Dad has just had his Windows 8 phone updated to 8.1.

Currently thinking of getting my parents a mobile - is windows phone really easier to use than a moto g for example?

Is it? Is that Android users who have experience of WP or those without. Android can be as dumbed down as you want as well.

Actually, the consensus is, that Android users who can't use a Windows 8.1 phone and go back to Android, always find some excuse, other than they just couldn't cope.
