Re: Meh.
Erm, remind me what you have to do when setting up an Android or Apple phone?
Nope, never had to register an email address on my Android phone. Then again, I've never felt the need to use whatever passes for an App Store on Android either - any additional apps I've installed have all been from .apk files downloaded in the conventional way from conventional websites.
Oh, and the couple of OS updates that have been available for the phone have appeared as expected too.
