Android™ – what and why?
An Android™ phone can perform many of the same
functions as a computer and you can customise it to your
own needs. For example, you can add and delete
applications, or enhance existing applications to improve
functionality. You can also integrate applications on your
Android™ phone with other applications and with online
services that you use.
What is different about Android?
Android™ is an open system, which means that you're not
limited to using applications and services from only one
provider.
Basic settings
The first time you start your device, a setup guide explains
basic device functions and helps you enter essential
settings. You can also access the setup guide later.
To access the setup guide manually
