      Default Essential apps

      So far for me:
      AndExplorer
      MyBackup pro
      Advanced Task Killer

      I have some others but these I like a lot!

      yes it is a 3gs, i like the simplicity of the iphone but also like the look and feel of the desire, there's not much between them in terms of greatness. Will have a proper play with the desire over the weekend.

      Cardio Trainer for me. Tracks my cycles and runs etc and auto uploads my times to facebook. Not so good when i'm late for work mind.. Lets you view your routes online and export into googles maps etc.

      Its better than runkeeper IMO.
