Okay, let's be honest. The first three things you wanted to when you got your Droid was 1) determine how to set up your email; 2) browse the internet; and 3) find porn. Not necessarily in that order.
At some point I'll examine all of this and more, but first let's focus on the first two items. We'll save the Droid porn vs. iPhone porn controversy for a later date. :)
Setting up email on your Android Smartphone
Because android is in bed with Google, you probably already set up your Gmail account when you activated your phone. If for some reason you bypassed that step (or you hadn't created a Gmail account yet), simply click on the Gmail icon in your Applications Tray and follow the instructions.
Once your Gmail account is set up you will have access to all of your contacts, your calendar and your email. If you add, change or remove any information in your Gmail account (either on your computer or your Droid), the information is updated on both. Very cool.
I currently have four separate Gmail accounts set up on my Droid, and get notified by each whenever I receive an email.
If you need to set up a POP3, iMap or Microsoft Exchange email account it's just about as easy. On your Applications screen, just click on Email and follow the simple steps.
If you need more info on email set up, I recommend visiting Verizon's email setup support page (or if you have another carrier, go there).
Browsing the web on your Droid device is as easy as clicking on the browser icon on your Applications page. However, there are other browsers (specifically the Opera Mini and the Dolphin browsers) that you may want to download and try from the Android Market. I share my thoughts on the Droid Browser Wars here.
