Top (insert number) things you use the X1 for.

Yeah, it is that time again.
I haven't seen one of these threads in a while and since most of us have had our phones for several months, I'm curious to see what kind of usage we have here. After all, things change when most of the tinkering and tweaking is done.
Include as many as you wish. I have skipped calling and texting, because it is a phone after all, but feel free to post anything.
Here is mine:
1 - Browsing (stock Opera and SkyFire)
I do this daily and sometimes several times per day.
2 - RSS Feeds (SPB Insight ftw)
I can't imagine how I have lived before my daily news/sports/weather updates .
3 - MP3 Player (mostly Pocket Player and MortPlayer)
Almost every day. Especially when there is travelling/waiting/etc. involved.
4 - E-Book Reader (MS Reader)
At least a few times per week. Sometimes I don't read for a while, but then, I do it all week.
5 - Online Hexxagon!!! (SPB Online)
That game is absolutely addicting and I cannot stop playing it.

Now I only use these types of features:
1) Text Messages
2) Phone Calls
3) Dictionary
4) Flashlight

Can you show me how to play java games and where to get those?

Of course. The ones I mentioned are from GAMELOFT. You can get them right there. Native-WVGA-Examples are Pro Golf 2010, Golf the Open 09, Wimbledon 2009, Roland Garros 09, Sonic Unleashed or SpiderMan Toxic City. Digital Chocolate also offers a few ones, e.g. Beach Games 12-pack.

2. Calling
3. Music/Videos
4. Organizer - loaded up my class schedules and other such things into the calendar
5. Alarm clock
6. Notes
7. Games - for when I'm bored in class/anywhere else.
8. Twitter
9. Taking photos - because I am lazy to carry my camera everywhere.
10. Bragging rights - because I am the only one in my class with an X1 [just kidding]
11. Mirror - I have a screen protecter that is coloured such that it turns into a reflective surface when the screen is off.
I've had my X1 for slightly over 2 and a half months and I swear this phone has changed my life - in a good way.

For me the X1 is a real PC that I always have with me :
Phone calls (home and work)
SMS
MMS
Calendar (home and work)
Notes
X1 is my primary contact source for all my pc's (home and work) with iContactBE
Web browsing (Facebook and some forums, and of course Google and Wikipedia or theater programs or looking for a nice thing to go out in the evening for example) and RSS feed (second panel)
Alarm Clock (I wake up every day with G-Alarm)
Torch (hTorch)

And probably other uses that I forget right now

1. Phone
2. Browser
3. Flashing for Fun

5. Citrix client to access electronic medical records. It is GREAT to be on call (I'm a physician) and be able to travel around but still have access to complete electronic charts and order capability.
6. Camera
7. Tethering

TOP 10
1. Phone and SMS (Of course)
2. Wikipedia in my Tomeraider

4. Morphgear Emulator (NES, Neo Geo, SNES)
5. IPhoneToday
6. SPB Insight
7. Terminator (to remotely monitor your Xperia in case of loss or theft)
8. Facebook Panel
9. Youtube Panel
10 Torch Button with registry patch

my list only goes down to 3:
1. phone
2. sms
3. gps
other than those 3, are rarely used. and now i'm thinking of getting a standalone gps because the gps function in the x1 (or any phone for that matter) are SLOW.
standalone gps navigation systems are much faster with better precision and have faster refresh rate. i tried driving with a garmin nuvi and it beats gmxt in my x1.

It's my personal computer. So:
1. Internet (Opera Mini 4.2, Opera Mobile 9.7b)
2. Calling, sms, mms
3. Email (with amazing Profi Mail app)
4. Photo alot (with editing photos with XnPocketView)
5. Music (SE media panel rulez)
6. Facebook (Facebook app, FiM Facebook chat)
7. Games a little
8. Flashlight
9. Office a lot (with DocsToGo)
10. Calendar, tasks, notes alot
11. Sketch drawings
12. Ebooks (Mobipocket reader)
13. Google Maps
14. YouTube
15. Converters
16. RSS (BeyondPod)
17. Podcasting (Bambuser)
18. Blogging
19. Twitter (PockeTwit)
20. Stopwatch

1. Opera Mini
2. E-mail, Calendar, Tasks
3. Opera Mobile 9.7b
4. IGO8
5. Alreader (E-book reader client - the best)
6. WM Remote Desktop
7. CorePlayer (as a YouTube client mostly)
8. WM Office (Word, Excel, Ppoint)
9. Camera
10. FM Radio

Thanks 4 sharing
I quess mine is:
- Sygic - Navigation
- Dolphin Browser Mini
- Handcent sms
- Astro

Here are some games:
_ Angry birds
_ Crystallight defense (I find it better than most other tower defense, even robo defense)
_ NFS Shift (mostly for the graphics, didn't find the gameplay anything special)
_ Gameboid (GBA lover :X)
_ Fish food (creative and addictive)
I don't use many apps so here are some:
_ Smartbar (feature-packed with task manager/killer, quick settings,...)
_ Circular battery widget
_ Astro (believe me I prefer the default OI File browser. I just use Astro for sending file via Bluetooth now)

How does Gameboid work on the P500? Are RPG's playable with the touchscreen-full CPU load bug? (continuous walking=continuous screen touch on D-pad).

Gameboid has been working great for me for about a week. No crash seen. I played pokemon sapphiere and fire red on it and they were running fine. Maybe there were a slight lag when continuous touching the screen to move the character but that didn't affect the gameplay. The games were running smoothly.

Amazon Kindle - book reading
Mort Player - audiobook
Dropbox
gReader - I prefer this to the google one, doesn't suck so much memory and its snappier.
Movies

What about yours? let us share experience

Reserved for Future

Another reservation for the future

These are the apps that I consider a MUST have for my usage:
1.)Mvideo player - infinitely better than the stock video player and can display subtitles also comes with great folder management
2.) SMS backup and restore - to back up and restore my SMS inbox when I flash to a new ROM
3.)Opera Mobile - Something thats pretty much close to the functionality of a Safari browser, puts the stock andriod browser to shame!
Other apps already mentioned like G+, flashlight app, youtube app and ect!

Titanium Backup is a must... especially for the n00bz who are always begging for non-wipe versions of roms.
Other than that:
Astro File Manager
PowerAmp
RealVNC
Screen Off and Lock (I don't like to use the physical power button)
Tasker
WiFi File Manager
Screen Filter
QuickPic
MoboPlayer
The rest is not that important, but these are mandatory for me.

This belongs in the Themes & Apps section.

[Q] App recommendations ?

Hi all,
I'm looking forward to get my Tab 7.7 16Gt 3G/Wi-Fi and I like to get some app recommendations, free or non-free.
It will be mostly used while travelling so apps should work without Internet connection and in flight mode.
So far my list has:
- Kindle for Android
- Astro File Manager
- Sygic GPS or NAVIGON for Android
I want to:
- View photos
- Watch movies
- View PDF documents
- View/edit Word 2010 documents
- Play some games
As noted they have to be usable in flight mode.
Other must have apps ?
TIA

Ditch the Stock touchwiz launcher and install ADW launcher EX

^ agreed. Touchwiz sux.
You may also want to invest in a quality SD card (if you haven't already). Depending on video quality(Mbps)...expect about 300 min worth of movie storage or 500 min of music @ 13mbps. You can store more than this but you will degrade quality with lower transfer rates.
If you do decide to root your device, you can also save on precious battery life by adding a battery managment app like JuiceDefender.

I would recommend you to perform the following first before everything else:
1. Get root
2. Install GO Launcher HD (Beta) and make it as default
Some would recommend ADW Launcher EX, but I found GO Launcher HD (Not the EX one) more responsive with less memory footprint. You may compare before decide.
