Accounts and Messaging
With the data service and your device’s messaging capabilities, you have the opportunity to
share information through many different channels and accounts.
Gmail
You will need a Google account to access several device features such as Gmail™, Google
Maps™, Google Talk™, and Google Play ™ applications. Before you can access Google
applications, you must enter your account information. These applications sync between your
device and your online Google account.
