I suppose its a good idea to get one of these going as the marketplace is picking up!

My Current list is (omnia 7):

BBC News - BBC news on the go!
eBay - Great little app, use it a lot Bought three items on it last night. Some niggles, but very usable!
Facebook - Does what it says on the tin
Flixster - View upcoming/box-office films/trailers/synopsis/etc
Fuels - Neat little app for detailing fuel usage. Notes down location of fillups, and allows you to graph usage and MPG and fuel costs.
Youtube - Does what it says on the tin
Your Orange - Orange account details/billing/etc
Orange Maps - When it becomes available.
Shazam - Great App, and linked with Zune :D

Was just thinking about making one of these, good stuff.

Xbox Live Extra - I think that's what its called. Allows you to communicate with Xbox users.
IMDB - Very slick implementation of IMDB, movie news trailers and other stuff.
Flickr Manager - Managed your flickr photos.
Twitter - Twitter Application, seems best one at the moment.
Steamcommunity App - Steam on your phone. **not sure how much I trust this yet. Was just setting up and though hang on I'm handing over my details. I would hold off on this for a while.
Shazzam - Tell you the track your listening too.


I'll check the names when I get my phone from upstairs.

I'm surprised this hasn't had more replies :confused:

I have a Samsung Omnia 7 being delivered tomorrow and was wondering if there is a good app to monitor data usage?

I have 3GB with t-mobile which from my understanding is far more than needed for the usual months browsing although this is my first smartphone and I'm curious as to how much I would be using.

I've downlaoded zune and had a glance at the marketplace but couldn't find one. Oh, while I've mentioned zune, I just want to say that the software is beautiful, after using it I'd certainly made my mind up that WP7 was for me :cool:
 
Mine came :D

I've been playing with it for a few hours and it's brilliant.

I downloaded a few of the apps mentioned here but haven't had a proper play with them yet.

One app that hasn't been mentioned is the "Background Wallpapers" app, they have some great images :cool:
 
Forgot about this one...

Microsoft Weather - It has a 'Live Tile' (widget like) to show the current weather.

Any other weather app recommendations?
