OMG EVO! I am an android newbie...

[Kirstylawer]

A couple questions:

What would you suggest as a good RSS Feed? Preferrably one that shows in the identifications.

AND

What would be a good location based profile switcher

What is your favorite...
- Top Ten Apps
- Keyboard app for bigish fingers


Please also let me know of any useful tips!

Thanks!

And here are some good Android Apps, just search for them by name in the App Market.

TasKiller
Barcode Scanner
Dolphin HD (browser)
Fring
Google Goggles
Google Voice (if you have a google number)
Handcent SMS (I like it better that the stock SMS/MMS app, its customizable and stuff)
Kindle
LED Desire light (LED flashlight app)
Meebo (multi client IM app)
Mirror for EVO (instantly turns on the facing camera to use like a mirror)
ONN (Onion News Network videos)
Pandora (of course)
Paper Toss (fun time waster game)
PhotoShop (mobile picture editing)
RingDroid (makes ringtones for existing MP3s on your phone)
Shazam
Spare Parts (system tweaker app)
The Weather Channel

Those are the free ones, below are some recommended pay ones (you can evaluate apps for 24 hrs, if you uninstall it before 24 hours, you are refunded the price).

Congrats on the EVO. I to have only had my phone for almost a week. It's hands down the best phone I've ever gotten. Thanks for the must have app list as well. I will try some of them out. Speaking of apps you shoud try out Yelp. It's a good app if your on vacation or in a strange place and need to know what's around you. Check it out, and the best part is it's free.
