Alcatel Lucent — privacy on phones for young people

I bought a alcatel-lucent 5010x because my old phone broke and i was short of cash. This phone is aimed at young people as a first phone. All of the apps that come preinstalled require acceptance of gratuitous access to the users data and files., right down to the file viewer. I actually can't use the phone at all without giving away the rights to everything i do on it. It is a disgrace to see that this is how the next generation are being inured to their complete loss of of privacy. If apple did this with the iphone there would be an outcry...
