Droid Eris cant download apps

I just got a Droid Eris and whenever I try to download apps I always get the 'Download Unsuccessful - Please Try Again' message. Anyone know how I can fix this?

I think I'd start by dialing *611. Actually, if I remember correctly, you have to activate a google account from the phone before you can download anything from the market. Maybe someone else will chime in here, but it seems to me I had to do that first on my Eris.

When I first turned on my phone I was required to have a google account.So that is a must have on the android phones. Do get a google account first. Sometimes I'll have trouble downloading apps. It'll state unsuccessfully. So I just simply power off the phone, take out the battery. Put it back in and power device back up. Then it starts to download

That just means the connection was successfull. I get it sometimes. Just retry it. You don't have to reboot your phone for that. You are on a roaming network. Connection issues happen, or hopping from cell tower to cell tower doesn't work right all the time. No worries. Try again.
