What are your favorite apps for eris?

I really enjoyed the Movies App from Flixster - but since the update it hasnt been working.

but..

-Bonsi Blast - Greatt game to pass some time
-Advanced Task Killer - Works perfect for me, Ends Applications that are running in the background
-i Music - Best Music app - Allows you to download MP3 for free
-Shaazam - Displays song titles for the unknown - works awesome with i Music
-Sports Tap - has a great widget that allows you to just show your current fav team (i have bruins, shows live game score in widget and also sends alerts during game to your notifcation bar)

i would like to hear what you guys have or think is a useful/great app
 
Ringdroid is great...now if only they could make an app to force this wimpy little guy to vibrate a LITTLE more noticeably. Not used to missing calls when set to vibrate in my pocket, lol.

There is an app in the marketplace called "smart vibrator" that does seem to change the vibration pattern for calls & sms when the phone is in vibrate mode. I have just played with it a bit...

how long would you recommend a ringtone to be/how long does it take for a phone call to go to voicemail? 30 secs? i just got ringdroid and trying to figure it out. i don't want to have it too long, or too short lol.

My phone seems to stop ringing at about 18.5 seconds, so I have been making my custom ring tones exactly 18.5 seconds long.

I think there is an app that lets your ringtone play as long as you want, but I imagine the call still goes to voice mail at 18.5 seconds even with that app installed.

I agree that the web version is better. I put a web shortcut on my home screen instead of the actual app. If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the Facebook mobile web page, there's an option for "touch site." Switch to that. The best Facebook option for Android in my opinion.

how do you make a web shortcut? sorry if this is a noob question, i am also a old BB user...
