I have got advanced task killer as the lady who did my upgrade recommended it.

Waste of time, uninstall it - never listen to the people in the shops, they don't know their !!!! from their elbow.

I'd recommend evernote for one and also dropbox.

And what is wrong with task killer? Or is it just that there are better versions?

Thanks for the post Op. Im a newbie to apps too and have htc desire .

I have -
Ebay
Hoy uk deals
Appbrain market- another app market
Sky+ - so i can record program when im away .

Swype- its a quicker keyboard. Some people dont like it as u basicall swipe your finger over the screen. However I love it . I heard Big keyboad great too, as the keypad ob the desire is awful.

I also like novelty/ fun apps. So have TALKING TOM CAT and Angry birds , which makes me angry playing it .

I think to uodate the keyboard, the camera and a decent battery & app killer are the main things I feel I need.
Tried advance apps killer & it was rubbish.

What kind of things do you like OP, might give people an idea what to recommend.
