You serious? You cant set up a phone? Maybe the INC isnt the phone for you man. Honestly. You Dial a number to activate the phone and thats it. Wow. Bump this guy.

 

It might save you some time, but you lose the fun of figuring it out for yourself. Thats half the fun of using it.

 

I don't want those knuckleheads any where near my DI. I'm sure they will try to install an app kileer on there for you if you go in. "You Can Do It"!

 

while you wait on your phone sign up for a gmail account. then you can add your contacts to it and you'll be ready to go when you get it.

 

If this is your first android device watch a few youtube vids. This should help with basics... YouTube - AndroidTips's Channel it's old but still works. The vids with the (2.0) is similar to the 2.1 that ships with the DI. You can also search HTC sense 2.1 on youtube and get a look at the UI and widgets etc.

 

The phone has a nice setup process that walks you through various account settings to setup your phone the way you want to use it. From there it's just a matter of checking the settings of each application to have them behave the way you want.

 

It's easy. Set it up yourself. I bought mine in store on release day. I told them I'd set it up myself because i didn't want them touching my new phone. :-D

 

When I got mine I tried to activate myself by using *228 and it failed. I didn't come from a smartphone though, this is my first smartphone. I took it in to the store and he just popped the back case off, typed something on the computer, and I was good to go. So you might have to go in to get it activated.

 

when i entered my gmail address upon activation all my contacts transfered to the phone .they went right to phone contacts .also when i logged into facebook for the first time on this phone it sync all facebook contacts with phone and google contacts automatically .FB pictures were assigned to phone contacts and anyone who has a phone number on facebook profile gets added to your phone contacts also .some phone names are different than FB page names so i sync manually .this phone is easy to use .im not to tech savy and i had no problem setting it up .set up my AOL MAIL easily also and started to recieve messages right away .
