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 also access Google Play™ to download applications and games, music, movies and books.

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.

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.
