how about Facebook Messenger?
Thanks Av-Crazy, Maxthon Browser and Elixir 2 are now on the list.
Good suggestion Bernardz. Wifi Analyzer is now on the list.
Just to let you know, I use GO Launcher EX, and after a friend was bragging one day about how many home screens he had (7), I decided to try with mine... The max is 30, not 9. Once you fill the screen, you can swipe it sideways and add more.
This is the free version, not the paid.
From "Phone and messaging" I'd like to mention about smslemon.com. It's android app to manage sms via web site.
Retro Calculator is fun if you don't need all the bells and whistles of a scientific calculator.

“Frinjo Pop”, search people with same interests as yours.
When two or more people with same interests come in proximity then you get notification. You can either send sms or make a phone call, if both are interested.
[Edit] Unnecessary details removed.
I find WinAmp to be the best free Music player and organizer. Far better than Astro, which is much weaker in music organization in the free version.
K-9 Mail - sorry but the lack of a search tool for POP3 emails makes this email client useless as far as I am concerned. They claim that such a tool cannot be incorporated into their program (if you doubt me - check out their claims by searching on-line for advice on how to do a search when using K-9 Mail) - however even the standard Android client (to which I have returned - after all I only use my phone to check emails while on the go; it is not as my permanent email client - that is Thunderbird on my PC) has a search tool.
Hey guys,
I found this free app yest
https://market.android.com/details?id=LinkMyWorld.sem
Its a really good and unique app. I think it should be a part of the list too :-)
rad.io rocks!
Bubba Army Rules!
Hi! Please give my app Georeader a look. It is free and you can learn a ton of history with it and a lot more. It reads to you aloud historical markers when drive by them so you don't have to stop.
Can we application for Profile Switching. I got Android just few days ago and still learning. I use DHCP at home and fixed IP at work. So I need to make different profile to work at different places. It can be automatic or manual switching of WiFi Profile which stores all configurations.
It is Sony Xperia Pro. And I use Wifi in both circumstances where there is DHCP as well as Fixed IP used.
Well Mobeep is a very good free app too. It's another app store that has plenty of digital content like apps, games and videos: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.Ozura.MoBeep&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5PenVyYS5Nb0JlZXAiXQ..
I am a new android user and I thank you all for your suggestions. Im trying them out. Besides your best apps I find xe currency converter a solid free app:))
Yes, take it back! Get a Droid X2 for a less expensive phone, and a Motorola Razr if you have some money to spend. The Motorola Phones ROCK! I get metal detector, flashlights, compasses, two types of barcode scanners, bubble level, super compass, guitar string tuner, speed test, just to name a few!
You're welcome Bygjj. XE Currency is one of the good apps I like. Try also Exchange Rates which is now added to the list.
Hey folks check out this latest happening app called http://www.myBantu.com , great productivity app for shopping, local search,dining,movie ticket booking etc. Best known for its personalized recommendations. And i heard its now voice enabled :o
I am new with a Droid phone I hope it is easy to use.
Hmm. Interesting.
In the best free ebook reader category, it's hard to believe the COOL READER...
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.coolreader#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDIx.....
...didn't make the cut.
Thanks a lot. I will definitely try it. How about any suggestion for forex monitoring?
Please review TouchPal Keyboard by Cootek. Seems to be free and supposedly the Global Champion of GSMA Mobile Innovation Award.
livehome is a good desktop organizer better than GO launcher or launcherpro
my suggested sites to download popular freeware android apps are
1- AppsApk.com
2- Cell11.com
3- Fone3.com
Thank you for your valuable suggestion. I appreciate your listing...
Task Switcher
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.shisho.taskswitcher&feature=search_result
A really simple, light task switcher,and useful. Press the home button and all your open active apps appear. Simply press an app to go to it or long press it to kill it. Or press the home button again to go to the real homepage. Then,it's useful because can show widget in task switcher. such as,use flashlight's widget to on device's camera LED quickly with task switcher.
Thanks Kai for your kind suggestion. Task Switcher is now added to the list.
I can't agree with the choice for Best Free App Backup. The problem, as App Backup & Restore's market page says, is "App Backup cannot backup data or settings." That is a crucial feature.
Titanium Backup gets my vote. The free version does everything the Pro version does except multiple backup versions and batch restores. Multiple versions is rarely needed, but can be done manually by copying the Titanium Backup on the SD card.
