HTC Task Manager - allows you to actually close applications when you tap X, rather than minimising. You can also set up exceptions.
Batti - Excellent, free, low resource battery meter.
TCPMP - Free media player. Plays virtually every video file out there.
HTC Home Screen - Home Screen utility that shows time (large font), emails, messages and missed calls. There's also tabs for Favourite people where you simply tap on their picture to dial, a weather update, shortcut to applications and a profiles tab.
SPB Backup - Excellent system backup software. I set mine to create an image once a week stored on the memory card.
Resco Explorer - Miles better than the default file explorer. If you want a free one, check out Total Commander. Just as good.
MemMaid - System maintenance utility.
Tom Tom - Well, bit obvious!
Ms Live Search - Great if you want to find something local and want to see it on a map.
Games - Got Worms installed and also scummvm. The latter allows you to play all of those Lucasarts classics like Monkey Island and Indiana Jones.

Got mine last week and after reading modaco/xda-developers a lot I've currently got the following:
Apps
SPB Wallet - keeps account numbers etc, syncs with PC (encrypted)
Opera - seems to render better than IE
Skype - duh
PocketRAR - see above
wmIRC - IRC client
Messenger - MSN client
(tried Fring, didn't seem to get on with Skype....)
Resco Photo viewer - far better than the built in viewer
GPS
Tomtom - again, duh
Windows Live - handy for searching, comes with map function
Google maps - quite nifty too
System stuff
Resco Explorer + Registry addin - a must, great file explorer, enabled ftp and registry access, formats, encryption, zipping... sending of files easily etc etc
Sprite backup - good backup tool that can restore your device from scratch
Thunder WM5torage - allows your storage card to be mounted as a mass storage device in XP
Slipstream Blue Schedule - schedules when bluetooth is turned on/off (I'm lazy)
SPB GPRSMonitor - comes with the phone, worth keeping on top of your data usage
Cambridge vxUtil - ping/trace/etc
Batti - as above, great little battery app
BTAudioToggle - redirects all audio through your BT headset, even if mono/no A2DP
Input
T9 Phone pad - emulates a normal phone pad with T9... great for texting
Pocket CM Keyboard - bigger keyboard that you can use with your fingers
Pocket CM Contacts - HTC touch like interface for your contacts, can scroll using fingers and also has text threading support
Q Inbox Extender - allows you to mark all as read in email
Audio/Visual
TCPMP+plugins+flashvideobundle - as above, plays everything under the sun
RealOne Player - to stream BBC radio
Resco Pocket Radio - to stream other radio...
FlashPlayer ActiveX
Games
SPB Brain Evolution - not in to games...
Phone is getting to how I want it... sort of looking in to Textr (text threading) but heard there's a few issues with it (plus the trial won't work on my phone) so a bit wary.

I've been trying to sync it with my Outlook contacts and I'm having issues now.
The device sees the contacts (in its syncing process it shows 0/21) but then they never show on the device. The same happens with Calendar entries.
I thought it might be something to do with Outlook 2007 to start with, but they give a trial of it away with the phone so it should be compatible. I've also tried the copy of activesync on both the CD and off of Microsoft's website with no luck.
