What part are you struggling with? Had no problems setting up GMail here.

Advice: Ask specific questions about specific problems and people will try to help you. You've managed to mention one specific problem, but only alluded to other simple things you are having difficulties with.

The more focused your posts the better chance of getting sensible feedback and not encouraging a long comparison / complaint thread. Asking if you've bought the right phone is ultimately pointless on any forum.
