Text translated by Google translator. Sorry about that ...
Just bought ASUS Padfone and I have to say that I'm in a daze. I was already two phones: HTC Desire and SGS2 and every time the phone the first time was trned on it asked to sign in to google account. But this time when you first start, it just showed up start screen .... In settings also i can not find the option where I could log into google account.
The phone is strange at all - as if it was a test model. There are no menus and widgets that I've seen in the movies on the internet
Is it strange or not?
Model number PadFone
Android version 4.0.3
Baseband version M3.17.28-A66_1041 [Jun 15 2012 20:44:37]
Kernel version 3.0.8-00002-gf9c3dfd mcbu@mcrd1-24 #1
Build number OPEN_PadFone-eng 4.0.3 IML74K OPEN_Padfone-9.17.7.17-20120622-F test-keys

You may try "Settings->Accounts->Make new account" Please choose the new account at Google, after this you will be asked for your username and password.
It is strange... I have the following options after I click on "add account": - Corporate - Email - Google - Hotmail - Skype. (I installed Skype and Hotmail on Padfone).
I believe that the problem may be with your Gmail application: please check if it is installed on your Padfone and install it from Play Market if not.
Anyhow you may try to use the website https://play.google.com/store to downlod apps. Another opportunity is to download Play Market from somewhere, for example from http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=203803 - please be aware that I did not test this source and can not promise that it is safe . And the page is in Russian.
i'm 90% if not 100% sure that your ROM is not official ROM from asus. Looks more like an early built that shouldn't be in consumer's hand. Try update (which I doubt you can as it is not official).
If you can't, flash your ROM of choice. At the moment you have CHT (Taiwan version), WW (international version) and SG (Singapore Starhub verstion).
Before you update your firmware, could you make another video for us. Just want to check if yours were unlocked bootloader and got an open recovery.img, there might be a chances for unlocking the bootloader.
Is that okay for you?
Edit: please, don't update your firmware yet, just watch your video, it is an alpha/beta phone as it has stock vanilla android 4.0.3.
just tell us what happen if you enter recovery mode.
