How can you delete those applications, that were interrupted during installation, and no plan to continue to install? -> click on any app that got interrupted, it will take you to app downloads section. Then deep press on the apps, it will show you the option 'cancel download'. Pressing on it will remove the partially downloaded/installed apps.
how can you clean an application(clearing the data)?
-example if you want to restart a game- -> I did not understand this. Do you mean start a game from beginning? Simply go to the tile or icon. If you mean install from the beginning simply reinstall. If you mean you have progressed certain levels and want to start over, the app has to enable this, or you can reinstall.
How can you delete those unnecessary files that you have mistakenly downloaded? -> The question is from where did the download take place. Generally it is up to that app, although apps can poorly manage their cache.
-Do you think windows phone should be considered as smart phone? -> I think only two operating sytems can be called smartphone OSes.... iOS and WP. Both are secure, app based and well integrated.
And also, why you have to log in again on facebook after updating. -> I did not get this. Is it the built in facebook thing? That is a single sign-in, no need to login again. If you mean through browser, I did not face the issue. I do not use the official app, it got updated some days back, so maybe the problem existed and got solved.

Anonymous, 05 Jul 2013Do you know how to root Jelly Bean to support App2sdWell rooting is a totally different thing. Actually Ascend W1 is the only Windows Phone 8 handset whose bootloader can be unlocked. There is a custom ROM available and hopefully will bring install to SD.

Why should a phone force user to manage his files or data? A smartphone should be capable of that.

And on android phone, you can manage all your files and you can say that you really own the phone, unlike windows, you cannot manage your files, because windows phone will let you scratch your head every time you use the phone.

Pretty nice budget phone. Main problems are internal storage which actually is not 4gb, you'll find 1.8gb of 4gb free. This limits apps you wanna install since apps cannot be saved in the SD card. Battery life too is different from what you guys have stated in the specs. When the battery is 100% the cellphone shows you estimated time left is 7hrs till you charge again.
Skype works pretty good in W1, you can chat with people regardless of what they are using: PC or phone.
I don't know why the cellphone heats at the camera after using it for some time. In general its a good cellphone considering its price, like for instance I spent 200$ purchasing it. In my opinion W1 is way better compared to Nokia Lumia which lacks LED flash and VGA camera.

Huawei should have indicated on their manual that THE DATA SENSE APPLICATION is exclusive for Verizon.
Some of the users bought this phone, thinking that the said Application is included on the package.
Anyway, this phone is very cheap, so we should also expect a CHEAP PERFORMANCE AND A CHEAP SUPPORT.
