Welcome! Good choice of phone

Delivery sounds about right. Mine arrived a couple of days before the date given.

Apps really depend on your interests and how you want to use the phone. That's the beauty of the smartphone world you're entering - everyone's phone is unique. Here are just a few suggestions from the many I've got installed:

Of course, Android Central app
Weather Timeline or Yahoo Weather
BBC News and BBC Sport - depending on your location
Amazon Kindle
Wikipedia
IMDB
SofaScore
Tripadvisor
Booking.com
Flipboard
Amazon Shopping
Simplenote

Hello Martidr, welcome to the forums! Good choice, I'm sure you'll enjoy this phone.

In some places Motorola is taking a long time to deliver a new phone.

As Thespinner said the apps will depend on your interests. Tell us what kind of app you need and we'll help you with the different options. Here are just a small selection of mine.

Pocket - offline reading.
Feedly - feeds reader.
Evernote - writing notes and more.
Nova Launcher - custom launcher.
Zooper Widgets - create Widgets.
Power Toggles - system switches.
Gsam Battery Monitor - battery stats.
AC Forums app. Of course
