    Some decent Apps but get:

    Barcode scanner - scans barcodes then goes on the net to compare prices for you.
    Fring - VoIP calls
    Goggles - Scans a picture and searches for what it is, handy for a company logo with no description for instance.
    I have remote desktop on mine in case of an emergency ha
    The free AV product is good but I use one called Security Pro.
    Shazam - run it when you hear a song but dont know what its called, goes on the net and will tell you!
    Zedge - download free ringtones and backgrounds, very cool.
    Trial eRay - I bought it. Free's memory and does some neat tricks.
    Oh and not sure if its there but Advanced Task Killer Free is handy, less apps running = longer battery.

    On another note, I've just bought the official HTC case and am very happy with it and am considering buying a 1600mAh, gives 15% more life apprently

    I was recharging mine everyday but since I updated it to 2.2 the battery life is so much better now. Although better it still only lasts 2 or 3 days.

    Anybody on Vodafone? I haven't bothered rooting mine, but will do it for damn sure now after they chucked a firmware upgrade on it which 'branded' the phone and included ****e like match.com and 'flirtomatic'.

    That's Vodafone for you.

    Incidentally, an excellent site for apps, themes, roms and how-to's etc is www.xda-developers.com

    It's good for Android and WinMo phones.

    Well worth debranding as 2.2 makes the phone much faster and you dont have to wait for your provider to issue the updates

    would i be correct in saying the "wildfire" is the budget version of the "desire"?

    Yes, the Wildfire is pretty much the mini Desire.
