On starting

Remember that you need an active data connection on your SIM card to boot up this phone - not sure how it will be when it is launched in India - but for now this is required. Second, you need a google account to get started. One google account per phone is how it is supposed to work, but you can check mails of any google account (for instance, if a friend wants to check etc.).

Without this basic step, you will be stuck. So, get a google account and an active data connection - which you can later deactivate once you have the phone up and running...
