samsung galaxy. internet/market won't work?

I would check the 'settings' to see if Data has been disabled.
A new phone often has this done in case the new user does not yet have a data plan.. and would then get high (unexpected) charges from a smart phone.


and yes, for android phones,
you need a google account (just make one on line) to link all your other settings to,
So use your normal PC browser to make a gmail account.
Then use that ID/password to open the google/android market option.

So you can either set a new one up (reset the phone settings in settings menu if needed), or get the guy in the shop to give you the details of the account he used - he really should not have used an account without giving you the details. That said, if it is asking for an account - does sound like it has none set anyway.
