When someone figures out how to install and activate the Android Market on the Vox (for those of us without an Android phone, past or present, i.e., never registered an Android device with the Market), please post a walkthrough here

I've been able to find APKs for versions 2.2, 3.0 and 3.1 of the Android Market app (Vending.apk), and all of them install, but some disappear as soon as I launch them, or asks me to "add an account to the device" (the 3.1 version). Clicking Yes or No on this prompt causes the app to simply disappear from the screen.
