==Criticisms==
Smartphone functionality is limited if the user does not sign in using a Google account. For example, built-in applications like Calendar and Android Market cannot be used without signing in into a Google account. Further, once signed in, it is not possible to sign out without resetting the phone to factory settings when all data stored on the phone is lost and it needs to be activated again.
