Andriod Essentials

As I am now a fully paid up member of the dark side, I'm looking for essential apps, I already have a few but I'm interested in what else is out there.

So what do you find yourselves using?

RingDroid
Wordpress
Red Laser
Firefox Beta
RAGE Faces

Nothing earth shattering!

Also not all I use just things not on Del's list!

Ooh! Also Where's my Droid! Set code words and text your phone: Switches on ringer at full volume etc even if on silent before. A different code word can ping it for a GPS location! Proper mega cool!

Just basic ones that get used the most,

Antivirus Free - Creative Apps.
Better Keyboard 8 - Better Android.
Google Maps - Google Inc.
Official Ebay Android App - eBay Mobile.
Facebook.
YouTube - Google Inc.

Drag Racing - Creative machine needs downloading though.

That's cool.. It's always on silent if I loose it!

Wish I'd set up the iPhone equivalent before I lost mine. Might have avoided a whole lot of bother.

anyone have any data usage monitors they can recommend? Tried a few freebies but they all seem to work intermittently so could do with a tried & tested one.

Also, how good is swype?
