Handcent- is a God-sent
Dialer One- replaced the stock dialer.
Live Bookmarks- the fastest way to your web bookmarks without filling your homescreen with shortcuts.
Google Maps- Don't leave home without it.
Toddler Lock- For my little "2.0" who can't get enough of Android (just like his daddy).

 

[cnlson]

1 mobile defense
2 where's my droid
3 phone my pc - I use this all the time rather than going to a pc
4 google listen
5 pandora
6 c: geo - 93 caches found in less than 50 daYs
7 droidbox - until the dropbox beta goes live
8 robodefense free
9 google maps/nav I can't remember the last time I used my tomtom
10 astro - love the new app backup totally saved me when I installed a task kller update that blew up the phone. Restored the old version and rebooted all was good

 

[TuxBobble]

Shazam definitely ranks up there, since it's free and generally very accurate.

Where, followed by Maps, are the #1 and #2. Where just includes so many different features, and Maps has added so much functionality so far, that I can't help but go back to them EVERY DAY.

They're the only 2 I use that frequently, to be quite honest. I could live without all the others (save GMail, but since that's built-in I excluded it from the running) but Where and Maps really are infinitely useful.
