Android™ – what and why?
An Android™ phone is based on an open source
platform, and is pre-loaded with Google™ services.
To make the best out of any provided Google™
services, you should create a Google™ account and
sign in to it when you first start your phone. With the
account, you can extend the functionality of the
phone by downloading applications and games
from a constantly growing collection at Android
Market™. You need to have Internet access for
many of the features in Android.
Accounts and services
Use online services in your phone. Sign in with your
existing account or sign up and create an account.
Google™ account
Use Gmail™ to send emails, Google Talk™ to chat
with friends, and Android Market™ to download
applications.
Sony Ericsson account
Store your phone contacts on a secure Sony
Ericsson server, and you'll always have a backup
online.
Exchange Active Sync account
Synchronise your phone with your corporate
Exchange Active Sync account. This way, you keep
your work email, contacts and calendar events with
you at all times.
To add an account
1
From your Home screen, tap .
2
Tap Settings > Accounts & sync > Add
account.
3
Tap the account type you want to add and then
follow the registration wizard.
Welcome
Digital User guide
This Startup guide is aimed at getting you through
the first hour of using your new phone.
As part of our Greenheart™ initiatives, we have
placed a full-length User guide in the phone and on
the web. By keeping the full User guide in digital
format, we have cut down substantially on the
amount of paper we print. You can find more
information on how to access the in-phone User
guide and other support at the end of this Startup
guide.
Important information

before you use your mobile phone.
