Hi all I finally went from my no camera no text cell to a new stoic nexus. Buyi g a phone is now as much of a pia as buying a car. I actually walked out of a phone store and the employee ran after me! So now that I got it what apps, games etc do you all like and recommend? There are so many choices it can make your head spin. Thanks all <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Yes google sky is a sky map with labels. I like to be able to look at a star and be able to find out the name. It makes owning a telescope way cooler.

My most used apps:
Google Music - copied about 15,000 songs from my collection out there and listen to music from my phone when I get a wirless connection.
Dropbox - I use this to share files and store files "in the cloud" so I always have access to them from any computer or my phones.
LED Flashlight App - There are several out there, turns your phones camera flash in to a flashlight. Very handy.
Skype App - I use this to communicate with friends in other countries.
Gmail App - Use this to access my Gmail account.
Compass - A pretty cool compass app.
Amazon - Used to buy stuff on my Amazon account.
Join.me - I use this so I can see other peoples computers when I am walking them through how to fix something.
