Maybe? Create a disposable google account so you can do the initial phone setup - then use non-google web services once you're in? Mildly less evil than an Apple device surely? |

Surely Google and your service carrier get all the data regardless? And why is Google any less evil than Apple? |

Don't think you do. Obviously, you can't then sync stuff - calendar/contacts - with a gmail account, but you can certainly set up a non-gmail email account via IMAP. There might be other stuff that's a bit less smooth, p'raps the Play store. |
