Huawei's Ascend W1 and D2 confirmed for CES, Richard Yu expresses worry over the latter

Huawei's first-ever Windows Phone, the [Ascend W1](http://www.engadget.com/tag/ascendw1/), is no stranger to us at this point, but no one's been certain about its debut until now. After mourning his daughter's two stolen ducks on Sina Weibo, Senior Vice President [Richard Yu](http://www.engadget.com/tag/richard+yu/) said not only will his company formally introduce its WP8 device at CES next month, but it'll also be showing off its Android-powered Ascend D2 (pictured center and right). Interestingly, Yu also expressed concern that the D2 "Dream Phone" will be too expensive to produce due to the powerful specs: five-inch 1080p display, quad-core 1.5GHz chip (undoubtedly Huawei's very own [K3V2](http://www.engadget.com/tag/k3v2)), 13-megapixel camera and 3,000mAh battery -- all according to leaked info from an internal event from late October, as well as a recent filing in the TENAA database. Don't worry, Richard, just give us a decent price tag and we'll be all over you.
