[unix.punkx]

1) Mobile Defense (if you ONLY get one get THIS)
2) Pandora Radio (What's a smartphone without Pandora )
3) Twidroid (If you use Twitter, this is by far the best client out there for Android)
4) Pure Grid Calendar Widget (Beautiful Looking and very useful)
5) Google Voice (Should already be preinstalled, its so amazing)

Handcent is a MUST have app......

Great SMS support and it willl auto split your messages after 160 characters and send them simultaneously.

Too much to list with this app it is FULLY customizable. There must be at least 40 settings to customize to your liking............. amazing app.

Cereal, have you tried ChompSMS at all? I keep flip-flopping and coming back to Chomp from Handcent. I like that with Chomp I can have SMS pop-ups restricted to only when the phone is unlocked.

Me too! I just have a better feeling about Chomp it seems to run smoother and I feel like I have more control! I am all into control!

mylock - I got tired of swiping or pattern unlocking my phone. I probably unlock my phone a solid 100 - 200 times a day, sometimes more. Now with just a push of the button the phone comes to life, I prefer it that way for right now. I may go back to a swipe or something in the future.
.

I can't find mylock... have searched a few times... any suggestions?
