First apps for your TB?

**8notime** · 02-20-2011, 04:41 PM

There are so many discussions about the release date on the TB, I would like to talk about something else

So I'd like to know what the first apps you plan on downloading to your Thunderbolt.

Mine will be:

IMDB
AppBrain
Words With Friends
Angry Birds
Power Amp

not sure of any android apps, but I do know one of one specific one I want:

thumb keyboard

as for other apps, I only used a couple on blackberry. mainly because of low memory. however i would like to see:

TIME mag app
Poynt....

wow I'm looking through my phone and i really don't have any apps. kinda depressing. I would like though angry birds, some sort of chess app (I know I sound like a dork), and Worms. maybe that's what I'll do my first day, get lost in the Android Market.

**chronic illusionz** · 02-21-2011, 07:22 AM

These are my staples:

- Pandora Radio
- Shazam
- Angry Birds
- Skype
- Amazon/eBay
- GameCentral (for gamefly)
- Sportacular

You want NoLED to replace berrybuzz. Trust me! Uses the whole screen rather than just the light.

Thanks! I have been looking but not sure which one. I'll add that to my appbrain account.

**blizz419** · 02-21-2011, 07:57 AM

whats the advantage to using programs like NoLED wouldn't turning on the screen for every notification drain the battery much faster

**ChezDigital** · 02-21-2011, 08:03 AM

Hey guys...I've played with a lot of Androids and configd them for several people, but not day to day so I'm only familiar with 20-25 apps. Any chance you could include a 3-4 word description for kinda noobs like myself? Whats poweramp? And maybe notate if they're root only?

Mine doesnt turn on the screen, but has an icon that floats on the (black) screen. You can set it to turn off after a certain amount of time if you want. I like seeing the color coded icon rather than a flashing light. it's a personal preference.

**Chrisy** · 02-21-2011, 08:31 AM

Have my apps all lined up and ready to install. I was happy to see my favorite BlackBerry apps are also available on Android!

No worries. Android has all of these apps and then some. Not to mention, it's rumored Blackberry will be releasing the BBM app to Android soon.

Power Amp is a full feature replacement music player. I prefer it over my stock music player.
