How about storage? MicroSD?

 

[Muessig]

There's no mention of storage in the info but apparently if you go to the source of the article on WPCentral: Huawei Ascend W2-4.3-inch IPS GSM/WCDMA Windows Phone 8 Dual Core Qualcomm_MOBILE PHONE_Wholesale Android mobile Android tablets by cheap price in FCT - $289.00 you're given the option of getting 4, 8, 16 or 32gb 'card' so we can assume it will have SD support for now.

That website's slogan...

NO.:Huawei Ascend W2 Brand:Huawei

What? China released the W2 well before we knew about it...

 

[VladPaul]

It is for sale only in China. Still no news if it will be sold in Europe.

Correct me if I'm wrong but your link gives me the W1, not the W2

Sorry I'm just used to seeing the W2 with all the fancy lights and all and I think that phone looks like the W1...ofcorse I'm probably wrong...could have fooled me.

Very happy with the W2 - cheaper then the other WP-phone.
Hardware OK
Speed OK
Just Windows 8 for phone is more limited in use and configuration compared with Android of Ios
