And lots of games.  :D

lots of people rave about that constellation app where you can just point it at the sky and it tells you what stars are there. The weirdest thing is when you point it down and it shows you the sun....

Cheers chaps. :cheers:  I've gone with the Photobucket and Swiss Army Knife ones so far, but keep the suggestions coming, I'm sure I'm not the only one who might like some suggestions. :tu:

NAVFree, a free gps road navigation app, with offline World Maps available to download. Nowhere near as good as a dedicated unit, but a useful backup, and always with you.

GPS Essentials, gives you a nice compass and OS grid ref.

If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

Dunc- I'm surprised you'd use an iPhone consider that Steve Jobs tried to ban pornography!  I'd have figured you'd boycott anything associated with someone who'd do that!  :D

Getting back to the original question though, I really don't have a lot of games on mine- Pinball Deluxe and Bejeweled at the moment, but here are a few of my other favorite apps:

Social Blast- updates all your social networks at once (yes I understand that may not be useful for you!)
Jorte- Calendar that syncs with Google Calendar, which syncs with almost everything else
Beautiful Widgets- kind of a must have
CamCard- scans business cards and enters the info into your contact list
Dilbert- updates every day with a new Dilbert cartoon
eReader and FBReader- ebook reader apps
QRDroid- reads QR codes
Wired Magazine & Endgadget- latest tech news

Oh and .nomedia manager is nice to have, so the gallery doesn't pick up all sorts of stuff from other app's internal file and such. You can do it manually but after a while you tend to forget which directories you have set.

Depends on your phone Ash. Best way is to photobucket them. Or have no folder where the pics are to be uploaded from.
If I remember correctly, wait, what was I saying?
