Set up your phone
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. With a Google account you can
access Android Market™ – an application store
providing both free and paid applications for easy
download to your phone.
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
Use Gmail™ to send emails, Google Talk™ to chat
with friends, and Android Market™ to download
applications.
