limited to using applications and services from only one
provider.

emails, Google Talk™ to chat with friends, and Google

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.
