TIPS

One of the most basic, but best shortcuts I can think of right now is in the Buttons section in START-SETTINGS-PERSONAL (tab)-BUTTONS

In here... I have Java set to the Button 1, making both browsers on the top of screen. Button 5 (Press and hold) has Skyfire, and Button 5 (press) has Messaging. That way, you'll have the basic apps used right at your finger tips. Of course, edit for your own apps as needed.




Applications

There are many freeware and shareware applications out there, and these seem to be the most useful for me, of course, not everyone is the same.
