New Phone :D

[GommeInc]

Got me self the new Sony Ericsson Xperia x10 from O2 on a contract :D So I guess I'm part of the lovely Android family now :P

It's a pretty good phone, but only has Android 1.6 because Sony Ericsson are a bit hopeless, but it is hopefully meant to be upgraded to the new one soon. The Timescape and Mediascape features are incredibly good, everything is in sync with each other - Facebook, Twitter and e-mails :D

Anyway, anyone got any interesting Apps they wish to share? I've downloaded the Opera Mini Browser to try out, and Google Sky Maps (which is very interesting).

Oooo Nom nom, i like those phones tbh.

You so have to download the Looney Tunes Soundboard for sure! Haha. If you need a file manager, which basically lets you see anything on your SD card and so on, then search for ASTRO.

Beebplayer > If you want to watch anything from BBC iPlayer
Barcode Scanner
AK Notepad
Ebuddy
TasKiller (It's like a task manager for your phone)

There is many many more to check out on the market.

Mines the one called "Barcode Scanner" made by "ZXing Team". I use it mostly for scanning QR codes, which are these odd looking things:

How is the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 apparently it's been plagued with problems such as lagging etc... Does it seem stable to you?

Only lag I've had was when I used Timescape for the first time, so it floods with emails, text messages, Facebook statuses and so forth. It's fine the rest of the time :)

Welcome to the Android family :)

Automatic Task Killer - for killing tasks easier
GrooveShark - for quick access to music (you need a VIP account with them, but it's so worth it)
Opera Mini 5 - Because it renders pages much faster than the built in browser

Or he could just use Spotify App for Android, as it is so much better but it is £10 per month.

Installed Automatic Task Killer and Opera Mini :) Is Opera still in beta? Because that's the one I downloaded and installed yesterday :)

I don't really need music apps, I have a Zen for that (yes, I know, this should play music but the Zen wipes the floor with it in the music sense :P)

I wouldn't know about Spotify, as it doesn't work from Canada.
