Sooo.. when you get yours, what's going on first ? 
My faves I've seen so far (altho I haven't used Android yet  ) are:
1. Layar
2. Biowallet
3. Locale
4. Opera
Here's some interesting links:

For those who have already used Android a fair bit, what do you recommend?

As I've been big on Android for a while now I've installed some of my old favourites:
Astro - file manager
beebPlayer - BBC iPlayer
FeedR - RSS
Google Sky Map - night sky viewer
PicSay - picture editor
Pkt Auctions - ebay
Wapedia - Wikipedia (fast)
Zedge - ringtones

Good thread - I'll be following this thread closely for app ideas.
I'm glad there is an iPlayer app, that's one thing I'd miss. Can't wait to try out Layar and Locale too.

I like Google translate.
It helped me break the ice with a polish woman in the nightclub friday night.

What's everyone getting on battery use. The idle usage is really bugging me at the moment. The phone is locked, on standby and it's still losing about 5 per cent an hour - is that reasonable?
I've turned everything off and use an app killer to shut down non essential services. Basically it's doing very little but it's still losing power. |

Just downloaded flixter for movie times but there are plenty of others to choose from I guess. Can anyone recommend any location based apps apart from locale?

Just had my first 24 hours of use and it was warning me that it was down to less than 10%.
My W960i would take over 48 hours before any such warning, and I use that for everything! |

Don't forget to use a task manager.

I found the Wi-fi on/off widget quite helpful and Im using Appolo Task Killer to control my apps etc. Not sure its the best one though. Also the stopwatch is pretty useful. |
