    I've also just picked up an android phone (HD2), and was thinking of what apps to get.
    Most likely going to go for an Opera browser, just got a cpu app to downclock, undervolt etc.

    Miren browser is my favourite. Also Music Paradise if you want do download something while you're out and National Rail recently released a free official app if you use the train much.

    Dolphin HD, Titanium Backup and Whatsapp have already been mentioned - all great.

    AirDroid is fantastic. Check it out.

    Also found a really good video player for mkv files - Diceplayer. Works really well where vlc player and v player would crash on my Nexus 7

    Beautiful Widgets is a good one if you're into getting other widgets and customising them.
