Thank you for this list. Just downloaded, Go SMS Pro, Dropbox, QuickPic and Chrome.
I need to download the Premium upgrade for SMS so I can facebook sync and have my contacts profile pictures on the conversation tab.
All those are good apps but i'll like to add a few that I have used and are also great for you all to try;
Poynt: A database of information like gas, dining, movies and more.
Repairpal: As a mobile mechanic it gives me a general idea of repair prices before I overcharge or undercharge a customer for work performed.
msecure: Great for keeping your information safe like passwords and bank info etc, it is also customizable to your prefference, you could send copies to your gmail account in the event of phone failure.
GasBuddy: Speaks for itself.
Dr.Web: For your spam and malware.
GPS Speedometer: Ever wanted to make sure your speedometer is reading correct, especially in older cars, try this.

I installed Go SMS Pro from Roadie1015'slist of apps, and it's been great.
Contrary to my prior concerns, there has been no spam issue. I had read something about spam messages in the Play store reviews, but in the weeks I've been using it I've gotten one message at the bottom corner of the app suggesting another Go app, but that's it. This texting app has great functionality including Emoji and group texts, and it's free.

Amo Navi-x is awesome just got today, after reading your post!
One quick question tho, the downloader seems to be slower for some reason!?
I was downloading HIMYM about 59MB, and its taking more than 30 mins, I have downloaded full movies on my laptop in 30 mins, 1.4gbs.
Why is it so slow?

Here are a couple of my Must-Haves.
Act 1: Fantastic video player, especially with the "Resume" widget for it.
RedLaser: Barcode scanner that gives all kinds of information on what you scan, from where to buy and how much, to calories on food products.
Netflix: Not the queue manager, the actual one from Netflix to watch movies with.
X-Plore: Basically a file manager program.
Subsonic: Stream Music and Movies from your home computer to your phone. Fantastic program, definately a must have.
GTunes: Free music downloader.
SoundHound: In my opinion much better than Shazam.
Old Time Radio: Free radio shows from the 40's and 50's. What can i say, I love those old things. Fibber Mghee and Molly, Great Gildersleave, Flash Gordon, Dimension X.
AirPush Detector: Tells you what programs are pushing ads to your phone so you can kill them off.
Catch: Yeah, it's already mentioned here, but wanted to give it a plug anyhow.
OnTheFly Backup: Backs up your apps to the SD card so you can restore them if something drastic happens to your phone.
PdaNet: Teather program.
And finally, Vlingo: Kinda like Siri, sort of. And it's quite good at reading your incoming txt messages without having to actually unlock the phone.
I hope someone gets some nice ideas from my list. I always look here for suggestions for myself as well. You folks always have some great suggestions.

Great thread, I've downloaded a couple of the suggestions and thought I'd add a couple more:
TripIt - if you travel a lot this is probably one of the best apps
Moodagent - I love music but hate making playlists, this app does it for me brilliantly based on the mood I'm looking for
Spirits - if you loved lemmings as a kid then you will love this to
