Google Maps™ and Google™ web search. To use

you're not limited to using applications and
services from only one provider.
Google™ account

send emails, Google Talk™ to chat with friends,
and Google Play™ to download applications and
games, music, movies and books.

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

space on your Home screen.

The Application screen, which you open from your
Home screen, contains the applications that come
installed with your phone as well as the
applications you download.
The Application screen extends beyond the regular
