Launching Android the first time
The first time you power on your phone (after setting it up, as described in “Your
phone and accessories” on page 19), you’re prompted to touch the Android logo
and to start using your phone. Then you’re offered a chance to learn about your
phone, you’re prompted to create or to sign into your Google Account, and you’re
asked to make some initial decisions about how you want to use Android and
Google features.
Your Google Account
You must sign into a Google Account to use Gmail, Google Talk, Google Calendar,
and other Google applications; to download applications from Android Market; to
back up your settings to Google servers; and to take advantage of other Google
services on your phone.
If you don’t have a Google Account, you’re prompted to create one.
If you have an enterprise Gmail account through your company or other
organization, your IT department may have special instructions on how to sign into
that account.
When you sign in, your contacts, Gmail messages, Calendar events, and other
information from these applications and services on the web are synchronized with
your phone.
<<cut for most deployments>>If you don’t sign into a Google Account during
setup, you will be prompted to sign in or to create a Google Account the first time
you start an application (such as Gmail or Android Market) that requires one.
When you sign in, you’re guided to enter your username and password in a pair of
text fields, using the onscreen keyboard. For information on navigating the
touchscreen and entering text, see “Using the touchscreen” on page 31 and “Using
the onscreen keyboard” on page 35.
<<Version for phone with physical keyboard: When you sign in, you’re guided to
open your keyboard so you can enter your username and password in a pair of text
fields. For more information, see <<x-ref to section on physical keyboard>>.>>
