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.

Tap Settings > Accounts & sync > Add
account.

transfer files from the memory card of another
phone to your new phone's internal storage and
