Awesome phone right there, almost confused by its appearance it looks exactly like the Nokia 8720.Amaizing product from the Huawei company..their first windows 8 phone cant wait to have a hand- on look at it.But i definately think that Safaricom will reduce its price after it has stayed for more than an year in the market..it might drop to 12000/= fingers crossed -_-

I have this phone. GSM arena seems to have done a mistake specifying the battery as 1950mah but the correct size is actually 1750mah. Well, isn't Kenya having a good time with smartphones. They are always being released here within a month! Great.but we sometimes feel like guinea pigs.

Great phone, its my second Windows Mobile device after a bad stint with an iPaq from HP, Windows Mobile 5.1 ages ago.

Nice shape, ips display,vivid colours but the phone produces cracking sounds from the speaker occasionally. Bad, Nasty earphones which give sound quality a bad name! Great value for money, I got mine in black, but there is white,blue and also red. Free* 500mb from my carrier Safaricom plus no locking.

Great tip...I have a Galaxy Note 2 and the stock earphones are awesome! Great sound! Guess what? They also work in the Huawei Ascend W1, Lumia 620...520..etc .The Galaxy Note 2 volume controls also work great too on the Lumias an the Huawei Ascend W1! Get a pair if you can! I probably think the Galaxy S3 and S4 earphones would also work.

The Huawei has no FM radio, missing apps like my browser Opera Mini and lots of getting used especially coming from an Android

> In reply to friend @ 2013-05-15 21:17 from Lb6I - click to readSadly your only solution is a hard reset (you will restore factory settings and lose *everything* on the phone of course).

Just google how to do it. And next time do not set a password if you cannot remember it for more than 24 hours. :D

Maybe the 620 Will fair better but I've been put off Nokia now.

I bought this phone 3 days ago for its price cause I wanted to try the wp8 platform for 230 euro.Average cam,very good battery life,inadequate ram memory but wp8 works great,the 4gb no matter for me while there is the choice of external SD card.My opinion is that the device worths its money till the last eurocent. Its the cheapest wp8 in Greek market and has the front camera which does not exist on Lumia 520. I would suggested to the light users of wp8 platform with no doubt!!

i believe this is Huawei W1-U00.
there are other variants of Huawei W1 out there (i have Huawei W1-C00 which is a CDMA version of this handset),
so i think GSM Arena should state it in its specs sheet.
