Your Google Account

You must sign into a Google Account to use Gmail, Google Talk, Google Calendar, and other Google Apps; 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.

Important Some applications, such as Calendar, work only with the first Google Account you add. If you plan to use more than one Google Account with your phone, be sure to sign into the one you want to use with such applications first.

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.

If you don’t sign into a Google Account during setup, you are prompted to sign in or to create a Google Account the first time you start an application that requires one, such as Gmail or Android Market.

Important If you want to restore your settings to this phone from another phone that was running Android release 2.0 or later (see “Google services” on page 31), you must sign into your Google Account now, during setup. If you wait until after setup is complete, your set- tings are not restored.
