What apps are absolutely essential for you to have on your Fascinate?

For me--

Google Navigation
Taskos
Snaptu
SMS Backup
Handcent SMS
Twitter
Mobile Banking


I have some others that are just fun to have--

Pattern Wallpapers (lets you choose from thousands of patterns for wallpaper)
FML
Personal DVR (which will record available tv programs to your phone for viewing later... saved me from boredom as I was getting new tires yesterday.)
Ebay
Facebook
Zedge
 
Although I don't have a Fascinate but Appbrain.com would be on the top off my list on my phone and computer...with this app on my computer I can find all the apps I need and more and sync it to my phone.
 
Google maps! - love it!
FB
Google sky maps
Poynt
Yelp
Retro Camera
Flikie Wallpaper
Shoot Me - Screenshot
Vlingo
My kids love- Talking Tom, Kids Paint, Angry Birds
 
Beautiful Widgets linked to WeatherBug
Dolphin Browser
K9 Mail
NFL Mobile
Facebook
TFLN
Google Maps/Nav
ThinkFree Office
PrinterShare
DirecTV
QueueMan
Barcode Scanner/Google Shopper
and of course, Tapatalk Pro
 
I have a ton of apps.. but the ones I use almost everyday that really bring something to the table imo are:

appbrain
google navigate
springpad
dolphin browser
pandora
movies (flixter)
espn score center
runkeeper
battery indicator
tiny flashlight
eeba (easy envelope budget aid)

and maybe a couple more I'm missing.
 
Hmmm... The ones I really like/need

DocsToGo (mainly for Google Docs)
Beautiful Widgets
Launcher Pro
Facebook
Dropbox
Kik/PingChat/WhatsApp
Google Talk
Pandora
Evernote/Catch.com
Google Maps
Yelp
OpenTable
Handcent
Chase Banking App

NY Times/Twitter for news

I have many many more apps, but I'd say those are the absolute necessaries.
 
I don't download too many apps, trying to keep the phone as clean as possible, but of the ones I have installed, these are at the top of the list:

Extended Controls
AndFTP
SMS Popup (popps up SMS messages in a little window, lets you reply without having to go into the full MMS app)
CIFS Manager (lets you mount Samba/SMB network shares right on the phone)
 
Google Maps & Navigation
Facebook
Twidroyd
FXcamera
Gmail
Dolphin HD browser
The Weather Channel
TuneIn Radio
AppBrain App Market
Smooth Calendar
Barcode Scanner

i've got a handful of others that aren't "must have" apps, but are definitely useful, like...
ShootMe
CrossConnect Bible
Astro File Manager
 
My applications as of now:

Day-to-day-usage
-Laucher Pro+
-Beautiful Widgets
-Astro
-Documents To Go
-Touchdown Exchange 2.X (for syncing Lotus Notes via Commontime)
-Pure Grid calendar widget

-CoPilot Live-North America (i.e. can't get google maps to work)

Games
-Labyrinth
-Toss It Pro
-Angry Birds

All the Best!

What is the benefit of using NoLED?

Thank you in advance.
 
NoLed is a visual notification app that pops up small light on your screen. I use it as well. Works great for gmail, sms, missed calls etc. I will not work if you have your phone set to vibrate though on some of the notifications. I had trouble with yahoo mail as well so I added K9 mail. It works great for that.

Basically compensates for the lack of the LED notification some phones have.
