let's start a list and see what everyone's top 5 apps/games are for their X10. It can be free or paid. Also give a brief description if you can for those that don't have that app. An app just might show up that you haven't tried yet already!


Mine so far:

1. Helix Launcher - love the shortcuts and double tap feature that allows you to see the other screens
2. Handscent SMS - totally kills the SMS program that comes with the phone
3. Google Maps
4. Google Sky Map - see the universe by slowly moving the phone around. Damn cool showing this to other people.
5. Jewels - game is addictive
 
1. Beautiful Widgets - weather on the home screen ftw.
2. ES Task Manager - great task manager program
3. Astro - great file/application manager
4. Robo Defense Free - addicting tower defense style game
5. BatteryTime Lite - great battery widget
 
all free.....

1; swype - amazing text input software , not officially available for xperia but you can get the beta version if you dig a bit on google. Swype | Text Input for Screens for some demos

2; xbmc remote - again another amazing app, control your media centre, remote functions are instantaneous, browse through your media on mobile then select what to play on tv.

3; guitar strings - simple guitar tuner

4: office suite - view excel, word docs

5; es file explorer - browse sd card , windows shares, ftp + app manager
 
adw-launcher - nice, clean and super fast
es file manager - cleaner ui than astro imo
k-9 mail - much better than stock email app, looks even prettier with the new update
dolphin browser - best browser experience, just try it
colornote - note writing app with widget that looks like post-it, i have a desktop just for these widgets
 
Adw launcher - slick, smooth and still good on battery
Dolphin browser - better browser, user friendly, i have the one with youtube downloader which is cool
Rock divx player - play avi divx and more.. top quality.. didnt experience any lag either!!
Musicjunk - download any songs you want. Most of them are here.. seems to have a huge database!!
Meridian - music player, ability to add playlists, quicker, drains less batteryand has a cool music control widget which mediascape lacks!!
 
@themanwiththeplan I could not find the divx app you described searched the market for rock divx player and combinations there of. can you tell me where to dl it?
best 5 apps
apn on/off widget best battery saving app in my opinion.
mort audiobook/music player great audio player esp for audiobooks:-)
fring good for using Skype on the go
endomondo great app for tracking workouts and auto upload to web.
HTC keyboard essential as SE keyboard was terrible!
 
1) Handscent SMS
2) Mort Player (Folder based media player with an audiobook version too which both run through the same widget, absolutely perfect for me!)
3) Quickdial (awesome one click dialer)
4) Math Alarm Clock (the best alarm ever, you have to solve a sum before it turns off guaranteed to wake you up!)
5) Battery life (the best battery widget! Even has voltages if you want it)
 
1. ADW.Launcher - fast and customizable home screen.
2. FolderOrganizer - great way to keep your apps organized and access them quickly.
3. xScope Browser - best and fastest browser I have yet found for the X10.
4. Swype - any other keyboard pales in comparison to the sped and fluidity of Swype.
5. Pure Messenger - viewing emails, SMS, Facebook updates and more in a customizable widget just shows why Android rocks over iOS.

Honourable Mentions
Abduction - horribly addictive game.
bTunes - fast and smooth MP3 player with lock-screen controls.
NewsRoom - best RSS/article reader, bar none.
PdaNet - don't tether without it.

Hey everyone, first poster here, just thought I'd jump into the conversation! :D

I very rarely download apps that cost me money. Not cuz I'm a student and permanently skint, but because I have found so many brilliant apps that are free! My top 5..

5) Ringdroid - Lets you take music and trim samples of it to set as your default ringtone or notification tone. Might sound simple, but you'd be amazed how many people have the latest BBs and iPhones that cannot do this!

4) Smart Keyboard - Gets rid of the QWERTY keyboard originally installed on your phone and replaces it with an old-skool keypad. Great for people with chubby fingers like me :)

3) Sky+ - Invaluable app that lets me set my programs up to record when I'm out the house. Could not live without this app!

2) Where's My Droid? - Amazing free app that, when you text your number a specific phrase/word, activates the ringtone so you can find your phone when you have it on silent (I have a co-worker who loves to hide my phone, and this one foils her all the time!) and also can enable GPS to track your phone when you lose it. I haven't actually lost my phone but I tested this out with my partner one night and was amazed it gave me an accurate reading when I didn't even have GPS switched on!

1) SayNoTo08 - A brilliant app that, when switched on, automatically gives you alternative numbers for companies within the UK when you try to dial their 0845 number from your mobile. This app has saved me LOADS of money since I moved into my new flat!

The Android Market is a great way of killing time, browsing though all the apps and downloading them! This one thread will keep me busy for the next week or so, trying out all the ones you guys suggest! Thanks!
