I've only just got a smart phone so I'm relatively new to this. Here are my apps;
Facebook - total shoot, takes ages to load up even on wi-fi
Twitter - Seems to do the trick, but just don't "get" the point of the point of twitter (coerced into setting up an account by friends)
Convo - free TapaTalk client as I'm too cheap to buy the actual app. Seems OK. I can get Cycle Chat and another forum I visit on it fine.
BBC News - not bad, loads up quick but just gives you a limited amount of news highlights for whichever regions you select
BT Fon - Good app for finding and connecting to BT Openzone/ BT Fone spots
QR Barcode Scanner - Seems like a fun app for scanning things, not had the chance to use it much
Strava - a very good little app for cycling (or running). Had to use it the other day when I couldn't find my Garmin
My O2 - Love it, tells me all about my account usage, very useful to see what data / minutes etc are used and left.
YouTube - very good app, I only tend to use it over wi-fi though as videos can eat into your data allowance
Draw Something (free version) - OMG, this app is great. Another app I was reluctant to get but got coerced into getting. Basically you draw pictures for your friends to guess and vice versa. It's a good giggle especially if you can't draw like me!
