So the main problem seems basically to be the impossibility to log in your Google account on this Android. Accounts manager doesn't solve it because you can only register a mail account. I tried to download the "Google Play Services" app, but the download was apparently denied (I get a blank window with the two buttons "cancel" and "retry")...
Thanks you too Purple Lady, I'll try rooting only if I can't find a more conventionnal way to log in Google account, but I think I'll eventually have no choice.. Do you think I can do it safely ? I know there's always a risk, I just would like to be convinced there's a good chance.. Anyway I can send it back within 14 days... They'll reboot it for sure...

If you don't want to root, you can try using the directions in this post on xda for the longer method. It has all the files you need.

Using an app to root that a lot of others have used on a similar device is generally safe. Other root methods that include flashing things is usually where the problems come in. After rooting you also need to be careful with what you install since some root apps can cause problems as well.
