During installation it does tell you that your network connection will be reset.

@DJ_Steve: I couldn't skip through the steps yesterday so I had to try and sync my google account.... it seemed to work but then it hanged. I eventually had to pull the battery, and now the cell phone module doesn't seem to work in Maemo. Any suggestions? Also Android wont start now, it just flashes the logo indefinitely.

EDIT: Nevermind the phone module started working magically just now.
