Cool Finally got myself a new phone....

OK,

Finally got myself a new phone, a Samsung Galaxy II and have to admit, it is pretty nice………. So - I’ve been getting a few “Apps” to go on it (even though it has quite a few on it as standard) and so far I’ve got:

Battery Checker
London Tube Map
BBC & Sky News/Sports
Flashlight
Yahoo Mobile
Ebay
Pricegrabber
Camscanner
Groupon
Google Translate
& Wi-fi Finder

All of the above were FREE apps, apart from the downloading, which is nice………

Any more that any of you lot think is worth having (preferably free ones) – that are for Android phones?

If you have Sky+ then the Sky record app is very handy!

I am also looking at all these App thingies now.....

Popped in to see Wilf earlier, with a phone that was playing up a bit. Left an hour later with a brand new HTC Wildfire and paying £5 less per month. I was only paying £15 per month before! So £10 for an Android phone with inclusive texts/mins and unlimited internet is not too shabby.

Would've gone to Wilf, but had no idea where on earth he is based now!

I specifically wanted the Galaxy S II, but I'm not complainign about the deal I got on O2, as was with them anyway and they matched what Tesco had put on the table, so it meant I kept my number and hadn't got to be bothered with all that PAC code and stuff.......

The apps I mentioned are all worth having on any Andrios IMOPO of course......

Get lookout, its an antivirus. Does alot of other things like backup, and phone locating if it goes walkabouts.
