If you see a Could Not Create Apple ID message, it means that you have exceeded the number of new Apple IDs you can set up with iCloud on a single device in one year.

You can go to https://appleid.apple.com preferably on a computer or iPad and create one there and come back to the phone and use it in your setup procedure.
