Number 1 Apps for a new comer.

[Guest MartinJT]

Getting an iPAQ 614c in a couple of days. It'll be my first Smartphone, so I'm not sure what programs I'm going to find most useful.

The main reason I'm getting it is for checking E-Mails, Sat Nav, web browsing, and I'm also looking at maybe developing applications... not sure what yet... just want it to be there.

What I'm wanting is for you guys to suggest some applications that I'll find useful. There's a lot of seriously crap programs out there, that are a waste of space. Can anyone help me to avoid some pitfalls?

Thanks in Advance
