Using personal email to set up phone...

[shugs81]

Just wondering... when you first flash/get an android phone it asks for a googlemail account to set things up.... and with it saves contacts and calanders and some apps (i think...)

is there a way to use a different non gmail account for this?

ta peeps!

You can use any email account you want but you will not have any access to the android market.... without having a gmail account

would it be possible to use one of the other markets out there? or would it still need to be a google mail account?

What do you mean "other markets"? there is only one android market... Just sign up for a gmail account, its free and then your phone will work properly..

I set one up but I was just wanting to use a specific one... there are a number of different markets that people have released... there are some which only have free stuff some that have a more universal market... i have also found one dedicated to porn... which was rubbish!!

I'll probably just stick with it... I have about 12 email accounts and I'm trying to consolidate them all down and the extra gmail account just adds to it all...

Ta anyway...
