Default First things to do?

Hi guys,

So I took a look around and couldn't find anything comprehensive. I'll be picking up the S II tomorrow and it's going to be my first android phone so I was wondering if there was anything that you recommend doing right away or tips that you could give me?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Marink

Creating a Google account(if you don't already have one) before you get the phone probably. And test everything out on your own I guess, it's alot more fun to find out yourself.

Are you getting it with phones4u?

First thing I would do is I would head straight home with my shiny new SGS2, lock the door behind me and do a little forking victory dance.

From what the guy in Phones4U said yeah, if not I'll be way disappointed. But he did say I could get it, unsure about sim-free but I assumed so.
