Searching around, it appears that after logging into my Google account, I have to go launch the Play Store app and turn off auto-sync in order to stop the avalanche of apps I don't want on my phone.

Still the case? I was hoping I could stop it on my computer before activating the phone.

One of the very first questions it asks you is if you want to autodownload all your apps - you can say NO to that. Or you can turn off data & wifi and then get into the Play Store app and shut off the auto-update, THEN turn back on your wifi.
