Sex with sith is like sex with a stripper. A lot of flashing lights and waving of glowing sabers, but in the end you end up with something dark and wrinkely.

Why would you want to downgrade your Android to an inferior OS?

ColorNote is one of my favorites. It allows you to put different colored sticky notes on your screen as widgets. East to open, easy to edit. Make check lists. Give it a try...you'll love it.

All the Google Apps.
Facebook
Fandango
Shazam (song recognition app)
Timer
ZP Dashboard
And many more.

I love my DROID!

SuperUser Permission (Google "Root Android" and be careful)
Root Explorer (get rid of bloatware)
SetCPU (increase the processor speed)
GPS Essentials
MapDroyd (free off line maps)
AlpineQuest (off line topographic maps)
Handbrake (convert DVD VOB files to m4v files to watch hi quality videos -- it goes on the PC, not the phone; the videos you watch on the phone:)

I can't believe nobody's mentioned this one yet, but in my opinion Handcent SMS is way better than the stock messaging app

This shit, right here, is OK

Vlingo...awesome voice to text, text to voice, even voice search for apps and internet

Gesture Search...use your finger to write what you are looking for on your screen, good replacement for looking up contacts

Bump....share contact information with just a bump of the fist.

Google Voice...this one is good, but scares me a little too, google knows to much about me now, but this app lets them record your phone calls)

I've read about this app. Do you use it? Does it really speed up using a touch keyboard? Did it take long to learn and become proficient?

I just started swype texting on my Droid2 and it f'n rocks. It's super easy to learn, just drag your finger to each key instead of tapping individually, way faster. Wish I could do it on my PC.

One tip is just use one index finger to do most of the swiping.

Cool. A friend of mine just got a Samsung Galaxy S and it has it installed as an option so I'm going to check it out in a couple of days when I see him next.

Bluff my call

Friend just told me about this one. Looks pretty fun! You can change how your number displays on other's caller ID, change your voice etc. Could really mess with your friends.

Thanks, Krisanne. My Droid is supposed to be delivered tomorrow and this thread looks like a good way to start finding apps.

The app that builds you an island, and then transforms into a jet and flies you there.

Or the one that grants you 3 wishes, one of which can be an Iphone.

Google Voice - free text messages. It doesn't work when the network is lagging (about 10% of the time), but did I mention it's free text messages? I don't use the actual phone on Google Voice, because it wasn't reliable enough.

I use Shazam and Facebook apps a lot on my Droid.

Addicted to Robo Defense, which is weird, because I don't play games anywhere else.

Astro file manager is pretty good.

Note Everything seems to work pretty well, and I use it.
