- Barcode Scanner - For all your QRcode scanning needs
- Call Meter 3G - Keeps track of what your phone is costing you.

- Gmail - Excellent client if your mail is in Gmail, I've no idea how the non-gmail mail clients compare.
- Google Chrome to Phone - Send links directly to the android browser from your desktop Chrome broswer. I think there is also a plugin for Firefox to to the same.
