Thanks TenLeftFingers, you are right, I misread the report. If the problem still occurs inside System Settings, it is not a problem with the first-run setup. And if restarting the phone fixed the problem, it is probably a problem with Network Manager.

Settings -> Accounts -> Ubuntu One signin reported an error (network or signing, I can't remember). I returned to the browser which led me to the routers page for accepting their T's & C's and the connection became available (I could now browse the web). Returning to the Ubuntu One signin screen, I re-entered my authentication details but got the same error continuously. Rebooting solved the issue. EXPECTED: After establishing the connection, Ubuntu One account signin should have recognised that a connection had become available.
