Never had a problem with launcher pro stability, it's never crashed and is always really smooth for me.

Same here, it's definitely smoother than ADW on my phone, plus I'm not too keen on the swipe up dock, I prefer to have it set out as in LP.

ADW is a bit meh really... don't see how it's any better than LP.

ok so hang on, there are 3 facebook apps available to me. If you have to have one, which one?

Facebook HTC app, Facebook Android App, Bloo?

Cheers Khaan - I thought that it downloads the Map on the go.
And yes, going off course is in fact a "problem", so would prefer "the entire map" to be stored on my memory card.

Suprisingly, it doesn't actually use up that much data

Bloo is leagues ahead of the others, but I have the FB official one for it's widget.

It's less buggy on froyo roms, LP dev. said he won't fix certain bugs until google release the source code.

I see. Not had any issues with it here both on FRF50 and FRF72 but that's interesting.

It does. As a result, I hate it.

I found myself lost in Belgium last weekend. I could not use my phone to find out where to go, whereas I could with my old N97

Too many pages for me to go through at the moment, i'm new to android, just got my samsung galaxy s and loving it, i feel the need for more apps, but i don't know what ones really, what would you say are "essential" apps, and some fun apps?

leoncc · 23 Jun 2010 at 19:23

I don't use many apps but heres mine, some useful ones there but no games or anything.

Argh keeps force-closing on me now, hopefully fixed soon.
