Gas Buddy, MP3 Music Download, Police Scanner, Smartbench, Tune Me, and Words w/ Friends are all wonderful.
Most useful app by far is PDAnet though.

My favorite is Pandora. Only app so far that I am considering purchasing. XM gave me free satellite radio for 2 weeks. After about 10 minutes of hunting for something decent to listen to, I turned it off and went back to Pandora.
I would love to see an app that turns off all the crap you are not using and keep them off. Just about every time I pick up my phone and check, all this shit is running and I have to kill them all again. Stuff I have never used keeps popping back up. Thinking about writing down all the zombies apps and surgically removing the ones I don’t use from my phone.

-Pandora is great. I have Tune in Radio Pro, and it's good, but it constantly streams, so it uses more bandwidth, and for some reason, it just pauses music playback.
-Fancy Widgets Pro is a great clock/weather widget. A very simple but classy look, and has all kinds of skins. I do like weatherbug, because it puts the temp in the notification bar as well.
-Skype with video - great if you have htc lte, very sharp and clear video.
-Elixir - a great set of widgets and you can pick and choose which widgets you want in the set. i particularly like the screen off widget, since i don't have to press the power button to turn off the screen.
-setcpu - can set max and min cpu speeds as well as governor. requires root.
k9 - very fast mail app, way faster than my stock mail HTC app. allows gestures
-dolphin browser - not quite the fastest for me, but the most stable, and allows gestures as well.
-ASTRO - great file browser and can back up apps (but not data)
-Titanium Backup - back up apps+data. requires root.
-Battery monitor widget - monitors and logs your power consumption. useful to see if something in your phone is draining power.
-Data counter widget - see data stats by day, week, month. particularly useful for people on plans with limits.
Juice Defender - allows you to shut off data while the screen is off. Useful if you are in a weak signal area and searching for mobile data, or if you have apps using data when it shouldn't be. If your system doesn't have problems, and you are not in a weak signal area, then this app won't help much.
Yahoo messenger - I use it mostly just for free international texts
Google voice - i use this for domestic texts, saves me from buying a text plan.
multicon - allows you to squeeze icons into a smaller space, i use the 2x2, meaning 4 icons in the space of 1 regular icon.
Pulse - great news reader with a great widget as well.
Swiftkey - very very good text prediction. good keyboard.
flex t9 - best keyboard layout, easy to use, but kinda lousy text prediction.
volume locker - locks volume from accidental presses.
wireless tether - free wifi tether, no limits (most free tether apps do not allow secure websites). requires root
What i didn't like:
-xscope browser - constantly crashed
maildroid - slow

I dunno which one i have, however, ive rooted my phone, underclocked it, and gotten a higher mAh battery to combat things like that. My Droid 2 lasts forever! And in case it doesnt, i always keep a spare battery in my wallet.

-Advanced Task Cleaner.
quite useful to kill all open apps that stay on the background draining battery.
-Chainfire 3D.
If you phone has a 1+ GHz processor, this allows you to play games designed for Tegra 2 devices.
-Easy Chan
:smile:
-File Expert
I have tried 8 file browsers and this one is the best so far.
-Router Keygen
For those of us that don't have a data plan, allows you to crack some of the available WiFi connections.
-Sleep Up (5X)
Binaural waves to induce deep sleep. I use it quite often when I can't sleep.
-SlideIT Keyboard.
Kind of hard to get used to it, but after a couple days it feels so right, allows you to write with one finger and faster than using the normal on-screen keyboard.
-WhatsApp
Great for texting using WiFi or 3G, and is cross plataform.

Parcels - I would definitely recommend this if you buy a lot of stuff online. It lets you track a TON of different shipping companies.

Soundhound - i think its much better than shazam.
Alarm clock plus - the only alarm app that actually wakes me up!
zedge - awesome for getting message tones, wall paper, ringtones
ringdroid - lets you cut any music you have saved and turn it into ringtones/alarm tones/notification tones
K9 Mail - probably the best email client I have used for android. Lets you have multiple accounts and its much better than the one that comes on the phone imo.

Weatherbug Elite
Fancy Widget Pro
Gas Buddy
HBO Go - works only if you have a subscription to HBO
Advanced task killer
I wish there was a netflix app for my phone :frown: I know some phones have it, but as far as I know, there isn't one yet for the G2x.
