r/Windowsphone newbie guide - please start here!

Hi everyone! Things have changed in these years, Windows Phone is now officially abandoned by Microsoft. However there's still a niche community of users that are interested in this platform and use WP devices to this day.

You're an old user who found his old Windows Phone in a drawer and want to get some life back into it in modern days? You are a new user who never experienced the platform before? You're just curious about what these devices are still capable of? This is the right place to start!
