Hmmm, I've listed all the apps posted that I don't already have for a total of 68. Now I have some investigating to do and lots of downloading.

Thanks for all the info.

I love my Droid.....

Thanks backlash for pixielpipe-I can use that, but never heard of it, and never would have found it.

1: Home++ ...holy cow, this is great..
2: Handcent Sms ...I <3 options
3: all the emulators + roms ...for killing time
4: PdaNet ...use my netbook in parking lots and other places sans wifi!
5: Power Control widget (native) ...really extends battery life if I remember to kill wifi and turn the brightness down..

1) Home++ - amazing replacement home
2) Weather.com weather widget
3) Abduction - best free game out there
4) Handcent SMS
5) Shopsavvy - just really cool to be in a store, scan something, and see if you're getting a good deal or not!

I got a question for Handcent users, how do you turn off the built in text messaging?

I got a question for Handcent users, how do you turn off the built in text messaging?

Go into Messaging app -> uncheck "Auto-retrieve" -> uncheck "Notifications"

Now messaging won't automatically get your messages or display them, basically ensuring that if you close the app via a task killer, it won't run unless you manually re-open it.

I forget who mentioned it now, but the Google Listen is very good for podcasts. Thanks for passing that info on!

WOW, thanks to all the wonderful posts. I am planning on purchasing the droid early next year and now I have some great apps to download.

I'll add one that I haven't seen mentioned:

Fandango - it is great for movie showtimes and uses your location to find the closest theaters.

Love Fandango
I see they finally listened to all those emails I sent asking for an android version. My favorite service for buying tickets!

Is it better than the Flixster application?
