HTC Desire advice?

[ciphergoth]

On Sunday night I actually had a dream about buying the HTC Desire. On Monday morning, eating my breakfast, I heard an ominous clicking noise that told me my hard drive was about to die. Putting these together, and with BiCon on the way, I finally stopped resisting temptation and went and bought one.

So, those of you who already have them - any advice? What applications should I be installing? What games do I need? How do I play videos copied to the memory card? Anything else I should know?

Looking forward to seeing lots of you at BiCon!

Update: I would have thought this was obvious, but: since I've just bought the phone this isn't a thread for advocating which phone to buy. Just had to screen one comment that had no purpose but to say I should have bought a different one!

Welcome to Android!

The ASTRO app allows you to browse stuff from your drive and play around with it, I've not played video much myself.

Suggested apps:
Astro: Useful file manager
Advanced Task Killer: Android is pretty good at managing memory, but this stops stuff if you need to.
ColorNote: Nice little app for quick notes
Jewels: Ubiquitous game
Meebo IM: All your IM in one

I've found the ES File Explorer is better/lighter than ASTRO so it's worth a try as well.

And I use NoteMe, but will have to explore ColorNote.
