I just got a smart phone! My first one ever. So these "app" things are kind of weird. I want to be able to use my phone to do neat things, but I don't really know the capabilities.

So, what are you most well-used or useful apps?

(I already have Steam, so don't worry about that.)

all those apps jero posted are great.
scramblefree - scrabble game you can play with friends
hlsw - mobile hlsw, the paid version is better
if there is a mumble app - not sure if there is
heytell - a cool program that lets you do walkie talkie like use with your phone
juice defender - the battery app I use
newegg - cool little new egg app
tunein radio - one of the best radio station apps, can get most major and almost all local stations.
titanium backup - best droid backup app there is. back your phone up to your PC and restore it later. never download your apps again.

About 45% of the apps I use require root so if you want to use any of them you'll have to root your phone and some of the apps are part of the ROM I'm using.
