**Zerazac** · 01-09-2010, 03:40 PM

My Top 5:

1. dx Top -Home Alternative

2. Mybackup Pro ($4.99)- Back your stuff up! Wavesecure might be a little better because 1) it's free and c) you can lock your phone remotely (from a computer)

3. Weather Widget-Donate- Love it!

4. Handcent SMS- Way better than plan ole stock app.

5. Timerrific- Genius! Keeps my phone from ringing during work hours. and goes into airplane mode while I sleep (battery saving mode)

Other helpful/fun apps IMO are:
Picsay Pro(for pics),Zedge(wallpapers/ringtones),Barcode scanner,Aloqa(Find places around you),Tunewiki (music player).. man I could go on forever.

Nimbuzz (until Skype can get themselves in gear and release their own proper app)
Spare Parts (to speed up screen switches and turn on the groovy screen flip)

Nimbuzz doesn't log into facebook for me. It then opened a chat with someone named facebook asking for my birthdate. the user was offline, but thought I'd ask here if that's how its supposed to work.

Since facebook has their own app in the store now, you really have two options.
You can either use the official facebook app, or, if you're looking for an alternative to that, try
I think any other alternatives out there pretty much dried up once there was an official app.

Pandora is a good one for music fans.

PDANet will let you use your Droid as a modem for your laptop. For free. I get about 2.4mbs with it. I hear that T-Mobile won't let you run it, but Verizon will.

My Tracks is good for hiking and such. Haven't gotten to practically use it yet, but it looks pretty cool.

Handcent SMS is a great Text Messaging alternative. Beats the heck out of the proprietary one.

I'm going to amend mine a bit since it's been a few weeks since:

Still on my list -
Pandora
PDANet
MyTracks - had the chance to use it and, while a little buggy, I think I know what caused it and really like what it does. Great app.

New on my list -
Weather Channel - like the ease of use and, since I drive a lot, the ability to get the weather for "My Location" at any given time. Very cool.

Sports Tap - I use this often since I've quit watching as much on TV. Great way to keep up with any sport.

MixZing - I don't use MP3s a lot in favor of Pandora or my XM/Sirius radio, but when I do, I really like this app.

I know, that's six, but so what. I had removed HandCent not because it's not good, but I just don't text that much for it to make a big difference.
