What is Android™?
Android is your phone's operating system. Since
it's developed by Google™, your phone is
preloaded with several Google™ services, such as
Google Maps™ and Google™ web search. To use
some of the services provided by Google™, you
need a Google account.
What is different about Android?
Android™ is an open system, which means that
you're not limited to using applications and
services from only one provider.
Google™ account
With a Google™ account, you can use Gmail™ to
send emails, Google Talk™ to chat with friends,
and Google Play™ to download applications and
games, music, movies and books.
To set up a Google™ account in your phone
1From your Home screen, tap .
2Find and tap Settings > Accounts & sync > Add
account > Google.
3Follow the registration wizard to create a
Google™ account, or sign in if you already have
an account. Your phone is now ready to use with
Gmail™ , Google Talk™ and Google Calendar™.
You can also sign in or create a Google™
account from the setup guide the first time you
start your phone. Or you can go online and
create an account at
www.google.com/accounts.
Basic settings
The first time you start your phone, a setup guide
explains basic phone functions and helps you enter
essential settings. You can also access the setup
guide later.

Home screen, contains the applications that come
installed with your phone as well as the
