Default Apps

Having received my Desire last Saturday, thank you Vodafone I've been trying to find some good apps for it. I haven't rooted it yet and possibly may not, depending on how brave I feel, but I was wondering if anyone here has an android phone and what apps you are using.

This is what I currently have installed:

I really enjoy Drop7 as a game.
Google Listen for podcasts.
MyTracks for GPS logging of running/cycling.
Google Scoreboard lets you set up notifications for when your favourite teams play, score etc.
Wixel is like Boggle on your phone.
And FeedR is my favourite RSS reader.

I've rooted my Desire and am running a Vanilla 2.2 ROM from xda-developers.

OnAir is handy, turns your phone into an FTP server so you can transfer files via wifi. Shazam's always handy. Games-wise, Air Control and Word Mix Lite keep me busy.
