Getting New Nexus on Tuesday

[kkhanmd]

So I am getting my new Verizon Nexus on Tuesday, what should a new nexus owner do? I think people say root it even if you dont want to use it as that would prevent wiping the device. So I plan to root it. Do I need to root it before or after activation?

Plus we are actually getting two nexi, one for me and one for wife. Can I make same profile for both phones this way dont have to double pay for apps? Thats what we did with webOS/Palm. Is that possible, same marketplace info on both phones with different emails, calendar and stuff.

Sorry this is my first time usiing androiid so asking very basic questions. :-\
