Got the Ascend W1 a few days ago and very pleased with it so far. As a budget end device everything about it is pretty "middle of the road" but it's not competing with the likes of the Nokia 920 or an iPhone.
The design of the phone is pretty ordinary and the build quality seems very good. The screen is nice and bright and I have no complaints with it.
Camera is 5MP and won't win any awards but again it's a budget phone so don't complain too loudly. If you take a few photos occasionally it'll be fine. The photos are far from terrible.
The battery life is the big selling point of this device. 1950mAh battery paired with the lower end internals means this device should easily get 2-3 days on a charge. You'd have to watch video and be downloading stuff all day to run it down in a single day.
4GB storage is the only negative really. With WP8 itself taking close to 2GB you're not left with much so this is definitely not the phone for app-addicts or people taking a thousand photos every week. You can extend it with a microSD card though.
This device is clearly in battle with the HTC 8S and the Lumia 520. The 8S is only 4GB too and it lacks a front facing camera. The Lumia 520 has 8GB storage (and nokia apps) but again no front facing camera. If you do a lot of video calling you'll want the front facing camera on the Ascend W1.
If you understand the device is aimed at the more casual user or first time smartphone user you'll not be disappointed. I mainly use it for mail, social networks, some browsing and the occasional game of solitaire. I use skype occasionally to call relatives overseas and it does all of these simple things perfectly. If you're looking to try out WP8 to see if you like it this a pretty inexpensive device to do your testing.
Pretty much 8/10 across the board. If it had 8GB storage this would be the best lower end WP8 device on the market by a massive distance.

Cannot access the internal and external sd card while connected to a computer, you have to eject the external sd card first before accessing the internal phone memory, external memory card can only be accessed using memory card reader.
This should be fixed, but seems like MS and huawei are not listening.
