My Verizon HTC Incredible is coming this week, and I am new to smartphones. What are the best apps to get in the android market?

Everything on this list is free from the android market
Most if not all applications in this list have 4 stars and up.

Applications:

Advance task killer – kill running task easily

Album art grabber – if you cant find album art for some of your music this app is the best.

Apps Organizer – Organize your apps (especially if you have allot on your home screen)

Astro – it’s like a windows explorer. Allows you to look through the directories on the phone and much more (you can also view png files that you email to yourself if you download this)

Barcode scanner – Allows you to easily download apps from the web strait to your droid using a desktop or laptop

Bible (YouVersion) – The best bible app out there. Gives you access to all translations you can think of

Documents to go – allows you to view pdf, word, excel, (and I think PowerPoint) from your droid

Droid light – turns your led flash into a flash light

Google voice – if you have a Google voice account, you can send text messages and call
anyone for free (you cant receive calls for free on your cell phone though)

Missed Call – If you missed a call and didn’t hear it ring, a light will blink showing you that you missed a call or text message

Mixzing lite – allows you to play your music and show the album art even if you don’t have it

Mobile Banking – allows you to check your banking accounts from your phone easy and securely
***My Days – (for women) allows her to enter personal information about her lady stuff

ScreenModeWidget – allow you to keep your screen from sleeping, allow your screen to sleep but when you turn it back on, it’s not locked, or allow it to auto sleep and when you turn your phone back on, its locked (This is a widget)

An even better one than the ScreenModeWidget is ScreenOn – allows you to pick which applications you want the screen to say on for. So say you are using the browser and you don’t want the screen to turn off, then open screen on and select browser and the screen will stay on as long as the browser is open.

Tech Buzz widget – stay up to date with all the latest android news (this is a must have)

iMusic – allows you to listen to almost any music you can think of free. Also allows you to download the music free as well. Just search for your favorite artist and see their music pop up.

Movies – application that tells you when movies are playing and in what theater. You can even order tickets on it. It also gives you a trailer to watch just in case you don’t remember what the movie is about.

Games
Air hockey demo
—Poke a mole
Radiant lite
Labyrinth
HomerunBattle3D
GameBoid Lite
Robo Defense
Raging Thunder 2

Other
Google sky map
Engadget – Keep up to date with the latest technology.
Lookout – Anti virus for android, gives remote wipe if your device is stolen. Also tells you the exact location of your phone if it is lost and it will play a loud siren for you to find it.

It’s a long list, but I hope this helps

Just as question asks, what is your favourite application paid or free that you use on a regular basis? It could be on nexus or another android phone.

ASTRO is very useful but an amazing application is Shazam (both are free).

I have recently bought a HTC Hero, however I don’t have the "Android Market" application already installed in it. So, I can not download any application from the android market, because it tells me that I should enter the site using my Android Market application.

Where and how can I install Android Market application for my cell phone?

Some countries don’t get the Market installed on the Hero, so it depends on either where you live or what country the phone was purchased from. Read this thread, it explains a bit more:

You can root the phone and install an updated ROM, and that usually includes the Market app.

I’m thinking about getting an android phone when I renew my contract with Verizon in July. What android phone do you prefer and why? So far I’ve been looking at the Motorolla Droid and the HTC Incredible.

The HTC incredible hands down. the phone is better overall. but if you need a physical keyboard then go for the Droid with is pretty good too.

i am planning to get an android phone soon, which is running android 2.1.
2.2 is coming out soon, and I just wanted to know if i would be stuck with 2.1 until i got a new phone after my first android, or if there would be some type of update process.
thanks

For most of the high end Android phones, Google, HTC and Motorola will update them into the latest version automatically, the only difference is that they have different timeline due to customization of Android
