Angry Birds ----  damnded adictive .. :(
Batterylife -
cricket - Aus/England scores live :)
compass
bubble - spirit level
FxCamera .. do some really clever things with the camera
TuneIn Radio - FM Radio reciever
Apps2SD - back up downloaded apps to the card

Lookout - perhaps the most important one. enables you to "track" your phone should it get nicked, set a high pitched alarm off, to wipe all important data, and finally .. should you wish .. you can turn it into a "brick" .. makes it useless to the thief. Also allows full backups and includes an antivirus. My son had is phone nicked and we did all the above .. tracked it, wiped it, then bricked it. he got a repalcement .. loged into the site and the backup went on in less than 2 minutes and workd perfecetly.

Just out of interest which phone did you get?  I am due an upgrade the end of this month and I am tempted to get the Galaxy S.

liking it to use, but some bits will take some getting used to.

In fact, if there was one for the gayPhone...  ...not that crApple would ever allow it. Mind you, I would jailbreak for such childish/boyish/purile entertainment ;D

Jimbob doesn't need one... He has his own, much more effective whoopee cushion ::) ::) ::)

Must admit, I'd have it too though :D :D :D

Be warned Jimbob, Angry Birds is highly addictive... Oh, and for iPhone users (don't know about Android) there was another Angry Birds update today with 15(?) more levels :y :y

I'm still on the clunky old 6.5, chopped about, overclocked and looking very little like the original. Not sure about 7 yet, seems to me they took loads out to make a windows iphone tbh.
That link was for the windows PC version of the game.

make sure you alter default Sky News App settings, default refresh is too quick (30 mins iiic) sucks battery if in GPRS area. Put it back to few hours     :y
