A file manager:
Ghost Commander
Task Manager:
Advanced Task Manager
Backup:
Backup for root users
SSH client:
ConnectBot
No doubt on those for me
I'm surprised nobody's mentioned ASTRO file manager yet; it's a must have for me. Very powerful with file management, archiving (zip files), backups, etc. You can use it to create apks from your installed apps.
Here are my must haves:
ASTRO
Apps Organizer
Tasker
ColorNote
Handcent SMS
Dialer One
Advanced Task Killer
MyBackup Pro
You're right maxh, Astro is a well-apreciated app.
But I prefere the "1 app for 1 thing" mod.
I use Ghost Commander and ConnectBot in local for the rest.
Ghost Commander supports root, zip also and has two screens.
I used Apps Organizer, and recommand it too.
gv voip and Sirius?
what's the story for those of us who missed the guava registration train in order to get our Google Voice fired up with voip?
And what's the latest on a Sirius app?
Thanks.

Last heard on the news wires was that the official app is slated for sometime in May with a free 2 week trial of the "Pro" internet service package. (Engadget or some such site I think is where I saw the ref on it.) Still not fancying the whole idea of paying more to listen to Sirius over the internet when I can get a fresher random mix from the likes of Pandora.
Nobody has mentioned beautiful widgets... amazing
Hard to choose 10, I'm sitting at around 100 apps right now.
1. Swype - faster typing
2. WebSharing - copy files to your phone via browser and wifi
3. GDocs - Sync/View/Edit your online Google Docs
4. Screebl - Smarter screen shutoff behaviour
5. AppAware and AppBrain - find about the greatest/latest apps
6. Astro - File manager, app backer-upper, install beta APKs like Swype
7. Quick Profiles - set up BB like profiles
8. Easy Call Forwarding - one press call forwarding (I set this at work)
9. ATK Advanced Task Killer - whenever things get sluggish
10. Dialer One - Improved dialer, T9 search through contacts

sms unread is better for the nexus one, it has an unread widget for call history, sms, and gmail. 1 program 3 different widgets.
yes, but Gmail Unread Count allows you to create unreadcount widgets for multiple Gmail/Google Accounts. SMS Unread Count only allows one Google Account.
They're not big apps. I have both

I like both, I don't think i could live without them. I tried to email the developer and have them create one for the tmobile voicemail, then it would be perfect, but no reply.

I left Titanium off because it requires root, but I actually own both apps.
List
Cool, great list!
Excellent list...
Thanks! I hope everyone can find something to make their phone better.
I use Gtunes. Is Gnutella better?
I've been using "File Expert" over Astro for a few weeks because it's light weight and it has built in FTP and HTTP server. I'm really digging the built in FTP server, I just switch it on and I can manage my SD card from any machine, no wires, no extra software.
Also, I've been using "Tiger NES" over "SNesoid" because it has support for Wii controllers (using "WiimoteController")! Makes for a very cool NES setup.
Hi folks!
