I went from a BlackBerry Storm to an HTC Droid Incredible on Wednesday afternoon and I've already found, installed, and configured the following, so this is really easy stuff!

Advanced Task Killer - Allows you to manage which applications are open / closed instead of letting the Android OS do it for you. Beware; some say these types of applications can hurt your phone rather than help it, not to mention that it's a total non-essential as the Android OS already manages your open/closed applications for you 100%.

AndroNews - A consolidation of various news sources (CNN, etc.) Basically a gigantic newspaper.

ASTRO File Manager - What I use to install APKs, and generally a great way to browse the contents of your phone and SD card.

Backgrounds - An application of thousands of wallpapers to download and implement.

Bank Of America - Online banking application.

Countdown Widget - I use this to keep track of how long it will be until a specific date / event / holiday. Currently, tracking when NFL 2010 kick-off will be, and when the Faith No More shows in Brooklyn and Philly are.

Countdown To Christmas Widget - I love Christmas!

Countdown To Halloween Widget - I love Halloween!

Facebook Sync - Automatically populates the default images of people's profiles into their corresponding phonebook (or "People") entry.

Foursquare - Becoming more and more well-known; you "check in" to public places you're at, connect with your friends, arrange meet-ups, earn "badges," become a "mayor" of places you frequent more than others, post updates through Facebook/Twitter, etc. Just don't abuse it or you'll annoy everybody.

MLB At Bat '10 - Crucial for baseball fans.

NESoid - Nintendo emulator. Loads ROMs from your SD card.

NFL Mobile - Crucial for football fans.

Opera Mini 5 beta - An alternate web browser to use other than the native one.

Remote Desktop - RDP for your cellular device.

Speed Test - For testing your upload/download speed from wherever you are.

Twidroid PRO - My preferred Twitter application.

Uninstaller - An alternate method for uninstalling software from your phone.

WeatherBug Elite - An alternate weather application.

Where's My Droid - Allows you to remotely disable silent mode on your phone if you've lost it and you're calling it from another phone to locate it. Also has GPS location abilities.

Wikidroid - A Wikipedia application.
