Best free apps for the X???

[vaporman1]

I am getting my new Droid X on Tuesday and want to ask you guys what you think the best free apps that are out there. I have the Itouch so I know a little about the apps but not for the X. Anything that people would recommend??

Thanks!

"Best" depends on what you want and are trying to do. Perhaps the majority of apps are free.

Ah forgot about handcent. I keep forgetting about that one app. I use it so much on a daily basis that I forget.

Jorte! is a calendar, task manager, and notes application all in one. It also has a plethora of widgets you can use (calendar, agenda, tasks, etc), and it can be synced to your Google calendar, or used standalone.

What does screebl do exactly? Says in the market that it keeps your screen on and saves battery life?

+1 for Jorte. My wife & I both use that calendar app synced up to the same Gmail account so we have our family calendar on both of our phones.

Compass...the one by catch.com. You can use it to mark a place you're at or drive by and then easily navigate back to that location later.
WeatherBug
AK Notepad
Aurora Search
CaledarPad
Google Sky Map
GPS Test
CarDar

You should also take a look at the Applications section of the forum. It's got a number of Best... and Top... There aren't really any special best apps for the X. All the apps work on all the droids.

You can set your screen timeout setting to the minimum setting (ususally 15 seconds), so when you aren't holding the phone, the screen backlight will timeout sooner and save battery. However, these phones are hard to put down.

I like screebl because it prevents the screen from timing out when I'm reading a lengthy email, or reading something and not interacting with the screen.

Oh that's pretty cool so if you not using it the screen turns off fast but stays on if you using it? Def going to check it out
