Hi all,
Pending some contract shuffling on my family plan, I'm going to go Android within the next few days. I'm going to start with a hand-me-down Eris, and decide whether to upgrade after a nice trial run.
One thing I haven't been able to find on the internet is a good Android startup guide. I've heard things like "beware Google dumping all of your contacts on your phone" or "don't trust built in facebook apps," but I haven't seen a good list of MUST DOs and MUST DON'Ts for those who are just turning on their phone.
I am already familiar with the Android OS, so I'm not looking for that type of newbie guide. Rather, do you have any tips that roughly fit into these categories?
Thanks again for your help

- Common setup pitfalls and how to avoid them
- Settings/apps/etc. that you really must set/install with your new phone
- Good layouts for your home screens
Thanks again for your help
