Recommended apps for an Android Noob

Just moved to the Android world from WinMo (at £99 for the Blade who wouldn't) and wondered if anyone had any recommendations for Apps that I should look at. Already got MCR installed so the world is my oyster.

Astro File Manager

I quite like dolphin browser, although not tried skyfire yet (and believe a few people like that).

Handcent SMS is nice

Ebay app?

Angry birds :lol:

Oh and Record It or something similar for when you forgot to record something on your SkyHD box

Edit- One more, settings profile is must, basically you can set your settings to change on things like time of day, so you can have it automatically go on silent when you are due to start work or go to bed, saves an embarrasing tone at the wrong time

Depends what your into, all my android phones get all the emulators as soon as I can download them. SNES/GBA etc. Snesoid and Gameboid.

Then there is a good browser which allows you to watch flash videos full screen that another user posted in another thread: Skyfire.

Barcode Scanner is quite a good one too, was always impressed with it from my HTC Desire days.

Wait till R3, I think paul is gonna make the market pretend it's a Nexus 1.

Either that or find it elsewhere, it's still a freebie so I think I can say that.

Ahhh! Okay :-) if it's the same game exactly as my IP4 I may just sell my iPhone lol! This phone does everything I need lol! 32GB card + unlock is all i need now haha.

It's lite so only 15 levels until the developer sorts that.

But I had it next to an IP4 playing identical level, and they are exactly the same (except colour looked a little better on the SF :lol:).

Do I need an Antivirus/Antispyware or am I just being paranoid!

Can I get angry birds on this? So far I have unlocked it. I've done nothing else yet. Waiting for some proper XP drivers before rooting and rom'ing.

I've set up an appbrain account, and everything seems to have been set up properly, as I have had a few other games install, but Angry Birds won't :lol:

2.2 only, IIRC.

As someone said, It's a personal thing, but I've got ebuddy for chat services, eBay app, Facebook, Twitter, smooth calendar widget, beautiful widgets for the clock/weather, root explorer for when i get brave, estrongs file manager is my fave file man as it has ftp support too. Many others, but can't list them all. Not into games so don't have any.
