By the start, the G1 offers a different, more intuitive smart-cell phone experience. At boot-up, the cell phone displays a cartoon graphic by an android, with an animated finger pointing at the android and instructions to "touch the android to begin."
The ensuing screens are clearly presented, and walk you through the speedy setup process. You'll need a Google account statement, the cell phone explains, for automatic syncing by your contacts, calendar and email with your Web-based Google data.
If you don't already have an account statement, you can sign up directly by the cell phone. Differently, sign in to link your existing Google account statement and the cell phone. After the initial, over-the-air synchronization finished, my Google email and calendar info was available to me on the cell phone, and the cell phone was ready for use.
