No App Store Icon and can't sync free apps

Hi there. I just swapped my Samsung (piece of ****) for the iPhone 3GS yesterday. I see there is no app store icon/app installed. Also I am not able to sync "photogram" free app to my phone from itunes. Or any free or paid apps period!
Was the "app store" supposed to be installed on my iphone when I bought it? Can I install it from the browser on my phone?

Did you buy this phone new? The App Store icon should be on the 1st home screen page, but maybe got moved, or restricted. You can reset it to where it's originally was:
Settings > General > Restrictions > (Allow) Installing Apps > ON
If already on, then reset the layout"
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout

You cannot delete the App Store or any of the pre installed apps. It is on your iPad somewhere, but it may be hidden.
Swipe from screen to screen to look for it.
Check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure that you didn't disable installing apps.
You can also reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

My 2 year old has deleted my 'apps store' icon and I cannot figure out how to get it back? Doesn't seem to be available in the on-line apps store, ironically enough

He dragged the icon out of the dock at the bottom and disappeared. That icon is merely a "shortcut" that opens the application when you click on it.
You still have the app. Open your applications folder and look for the App Store app icon. Click and hold down on the App Store icon and drag the icon down into the dock to replace it. That puts the shortcut back into the dock.

It is not possible to delete the built in Apps such as the App Store. If it isn't hidden by restrictions, it is on the iPad.

I try to sync my iPad but it told me to authorize the computer.I did that many times, but still have that masege and can't sync.Why?

I try to sync my iPad after I did authorize the computer.But still got the message to authorize the computer and can't sync.Why???

my message told me that if Iproceeded with the sync, several applications that were not authorized would be deleted. I went ahead and synced anyway. Apparently I had apps installed under a different password and those were the unauthorized ones. Well I couldn't tell if any of my apps were deleted. and some may have but all worked when I did this and the sync happened

Thanks a lot for the answer. I'm so upset, have no even one contact on my phone. I has to do with the moving to iCloud from MobileMe.
I did exactly what you wrote, and when trying to click the vcf file on the iPhone the screen freezing, and then after few long seconds it goes alon to home.
So I tried less contacts in a Vcard, and i'm dividing my address book, doing little by little and it work.
Thank you so much.
I still dont get why the sync with my computer address book is not working.
And why when I moved to icloud all the photos I had next to the contacts are disappered.
I had my iPad, which it still, I did not move from MobileMe to iCloud and all the photos are there!
Anything I can do to use the iCloud on the iPad as well and update the iCloud with the photos?
