Multiple Android devices... do you use the same account?

Hey,

I've just bought a cheap Motorola Flipout to use as my work phone (crappy Samsung Omnia was killing me!).

Just wondering if I should use the same Google Account that I have on my main phone, os ir is better to set up a new one?

If I used the same one, how would things like Android Market, GMail etc. work?

Cheers,

Suman

The google market place is able to differentiate between devices so you may as well use the same one. I have on a different number of devices.

Just use the same one, your emails will go to both devices and anything you buy will be available for both.

Oh sweet - I was going to buy TouchDown (for Outlook Sync), will this be valid on both devices?

I guess I can just turn off notifications for GMail etc on the second device if I don't want both ringing at the same time!

Cheers,
