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!

I see simont has already plugged his Portable Puzzles. It's the first thing I install anywhere and I couldn't live without it.

TopSETgame also for puzzly goodness.

Connectbot is a terminal

Aldiko is a great ebook reader, that I also couldn't live without.

myPlayer for BBC iplayer, streaming, but also downloading, and live streaming TV.

They messed with the brightness stuff in the last Android upgrade, so now my Hero needs Dimmer, which takes the brightness to below the lowest you can set manually.

I second what people have said about Astro.

Those are all free.

Have fun in the store.

Wow. Loaded Aldiko, looked at the most popular free books, accidentally downloaded about two dozen. Coolness - thanks!
