Been downloading apps a lot, and they are awesome. Some apps I downloaded are:

-AAA Roadside
-AIM
-Amazon.com
-AndroIRC
-Angry Birds
-App 2 SD
-Dropbox
-ES File Explorer and File Manager
-Evernote
-Facebook
-GasBuddy
-JuiceDefender
-JuicePlotter
-MyCar Locator
-Newegg
-Pandora
-QR Droid
-Shazam
-Speed Test (speedtest.net)
-Tip Calc
-TV Guide
-Whitepages
-Yahoo! Mail
-Other apps that allow me to use my smartphone to do dumb things (Thanks for that idea, Geico)

I now used up half my space and have 70 MB remaining, even after moving stuff to my SD card. Anything I am missing?

Awesome, thanks!

Also, no light unfortunately. My phone lacks camera flash and Adobe Flash.

Optimus V, by the way.

Plants vs Zombies was free a bit ago, you could probably find a mirror via Google.

i guess i should elaborate a little bit more

google sky map is awesome for finding any celestial thing you might want to find (the north star being a good one if lost)
dice wars is just the best strategy game thingy for general time wasting, though the phone version isn't *quite* as good as the flash or .exe versions of the game
yelp is awesome if you need to find a place to eat
periodic droid just makes for a nice reference if you ever need to like..suddenly know what tungsten is used for >_>;;
nyan cat is nyan cat
compass is alright if lost
flashlight is good for obvious reasons, though since you lack a flash that sorta dampens things, but eh...always the low tech method of just using a lit up phone screen >_>

mPuzzle is a good sudoku/kakuro/etc game if you're into that kind of thing. Make sure you get the right one, there's also a jigsaw puzzle game of the same name.

SuperGenPass is a handy app to help you generate secure passwords.

Handcent SMS is good if you want a better text app.
handyCalc is a really nice calculator. Aside from the regular stuff it does graphs and solves equations and stuff.
Movies is good if you go to theaters a lot and want to know show times and stuff.
Listen is great if you listen to a lot of podcasts.
All the -oid emulators which aren't on the market anymore, but are pretty easy to find on Google (GBCoid, Nesoid, etc.).
Google Voice is amazing for voicemail, and I couldn't imagine going back to the default phone voicemail.
3G Watchdog is great if you're obsessive compulsive like me and like to know how much data you're uploading/downloading even though you have an unlimited data plan.
If you don't mind paying for it, PowerAMP is a great music player.
Finally, I've been really into Cut the Rope recently, which isn't on the market, but you can get it here:

Definitely looking into these apps!

Google Voice voicemail kind of works, but for some reason, I can't change the default voicemail service to Google Voice. Oh well.

Question: If I buy apps on this phone, can I transfer them to another phone later? Not planning to buy a new phone for at least a year, but just wondering in case something happens to my phone or if I want to replace it sooner.

Unless one of those programs already does this. Advanced Task Killer.

My phone at least has a horrible habit of running a gazillion and one programs in the background even after I close them. Or more annoyingly, running a ton of programs in the background even when I haven't even opened them in the first place (or have previously killed them).

Yup, I love that app. It helps when I am on battery too, and I think it has saved me a ton of battery power.

Also, why does Gallery seem to take up so much power when I am not even using it?
