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

From your Home screen, tap .

Find and tap Settings > Accounts & sync > Add account > Google.

Follow 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.

Applications

An application is a phone program that helps you perform a task. For example, there are applications to make calls, take photos and download more applications.

Status and notifications

The status bar at the top of your screen shows what's going on in your phone. For example, new message and calendar notifications appear here.

A notification light also gives you battery status information and some notifications. For example, a flashing blue light means there is a new message or a missed call. The notification light may not work when the battery level is low.
