Dear Lumia user,

Just wanna confirm... is it possible for lumia 920, or other words, WP8, to use chinese handwriting as word input?
If can, can anyone provide me full guide how to do it... Cause this morning I went to mobile shop but I struggling for 5 minutes don't know how to do it >.<

Anyway, if you are one of the lumia 920 user, do you think WP8 user-friendly for "granny" users? Cause planning to buy a phone for my mum, but still undecided between WP and Android. Hope anyone can give me a true unbiased opinion about this.. Thanks you very much smile.gif

Windows phone is definitely easier to learn than android to me.
After not using android for quite some time i also got lost while using android 4.2.2.

Android 4.2.2? You mean pure android? For me Android is still okay as I am used to it for many years. But sometime like for example, when you dial a number, it will asked you to use phone, whatsapp, or viber. Of course can made phone as default to eliminate it asked again. But then if future I install newer apps which have the ability to perform same action, like skype, it will asked again.. that's one of the frustrating feature for me in Android.

No handwriting as a native input option.

It is grandny friendly in terms of usability.
1 simplistic UI
2 you can leave just couple of huge tiles in the start screen. Which you cant do the same with icon based UI.

But this assume your granny is a phone number type. I have really bad experience for older people to figure out how to work out the people hubs as oppose to a more mainstream phone book setup.

I just google about it and I found this:

So if you can't find it, so is it must change the system language into Chinese in order to use handwriting?

What you mean by phone number type? Someone who memorize the phone number without access to phonebook?
Yeah the people hub have a deep integration with social networks and those chat and calendar functions made everything so complicated. Will look further into it, thank you.
