Starlilie says: I just recently got the HTC EVO after much research (I had a 2 page list of apps to download before I got the phone!) and these are the apps that I recommend having on your android.
Angry Birds Obviously the most addicting game out there... THE PIGS MUST DIE!! lol
ASTRO File Manager / Browser Really useful. There are no cons to this app. If you want to be able to access and modify the folders on your SD Card without having to plug it into your computer it's a must-have!
Backgrounds HD Wallpapers Exactly what it says it is. Easy way to make the best of your beautiful Android screen.
Beautiful Widgets If you want to customize your home page without actually downloading a home page program this is the way. Great options for Time and Weather. Simple, useful and easy to use.
Bump Have friends that have an android or iphone? Easily share pics, contacts and apps with Bump. Plus it's kinda fun!!
Dropbox A very easy app used to transfer files from any computer to your phone. Have pictures on your laptop that you want to put on your phone, easy with Dropbox.
Handcent SMS The best alternative text/sms app. It's nice being able to customize everything, colors, fonts, notifications, etc! Plus you get the cute bubbles made famous by Iphone.
Folder Organizer lite Just the best app to get the most of your phone. Organizes your apps into folders to shortcuts!
Kaloer Clock - Night Clock Best alarm clock app I've found. It's easy to set, easy to customize and has screensavers.
Quick Settings Best thing since sliced bread! I absolutely love it. It's exactly what it says... a quick link to key settings. WIFI on/off switch, volume, battery level, etc. It's awesome!
