Ok. I know there are a few other (older) threads about this. I haven't even got my Eris yet, but will be getting it Saturday. I've read through the the how to extend battery life thread. I have yet to look at the tips and tricks thread though. Anyways, what I would like to know is what are the "Must have" apps. What should I do with it right out of the box? Anything particular I should know/expect? Thanks guys. I hope this will be a pleasant experience, it's my first Android phone (first smartphone actually) although I do have an iPod Touch, so I hope that will shorten the learning curve. Thanks everyone.
Twidroid - Twitter Bloo - Facebook Dolphin - Browser Where - find EVERYTHING Shop Savvy and Barcode Scanner - shopping tools
Just my opinion, but SnapTell does a better job at scanning barcodes AND lets you scan a book, cd or dvd cover and get the same information. Shopsavvy caused me a few problems, but after switching to Snaptell the issues are gone...Either one is a great choice, but snaptell does more and is just as good imo...

Thanks everyone. I'll update you tomorrow when I get the phone...Looks like I'll be doing a lot of experimenting.
ASTRO - Great app for browsing your SD card and doing basic file management on it Agreed with Dolphin, it's a great browser. Right out of the box... CUSTOMIZE! There's some awesome widgets you can use by HTC to add some really nice features and useful things. I really wish the Market made it easier to find widgets vs apps... also in general wish there was more widget development (maybe I'm just not aware of it).
The coolest App I downloaded was Google SKY. It gives you a real time look at the stars and planets in the sky. Had a ball with my kids.
no not really unless you pay that indiotic $50 teathering fee. but pdanet does it for you without paying the fee. just don't go over the 5 gig limit you'll be fine. i teathered my G1 when i was on t-moble they never knew the difference.
