I have joined the iPhone world! Now looking for cool apps to download... preferably FREE! LOL
I love solitare, so got one yesterday. And a friend recommended Epicurious, that has a bunch of different recipes, and you can create a "recipe book of favs" and a shopping list from recipes you choose. Oh, and I downloaded the FB app to quickly access.

Re: NBR: iPhone users - rec your fav apps
So far my most used apps are Pandora and Facebook. LOL.
My IPhone is new so I will definitely be taking notes off of this post.
I dont know which ones were free or not but here is my list of fave apps:
1. fb one..of course lol
2. shazam. it lets you "tag" a song on the radio that you dont know the name of or artist and it tells you. its genius.
3. eat this, not that. a good guide to restaurants and healthy foods in general
4. yellow pages
5. pandora radio. this one is free.
6. amazon.com..do some shopping!
7. converter
8. open table. to make restaurant reservations
9. starbucks app..many different functions but my fave is it lists the closest sbux to you, broken down to either drive thru or regular.
Enjoy your iphone. it is highly addicting!!!
I am also taking notes! I just got mine last week and already am loading it up.
I love love love Words with friends - it's just like Scrabble.
facebook
Bump - you can bump iphones to exchange contact info - so cool!
OH, I got Pandora too... and was using it while packing yesterday. LOL
Words with Friends sounds like fun... esp for plane ride.

??? - if you buy an app, who gets charged? AT&T, or iTunes?

itunes
Great! I have a huge credit in iTunes. Plus, the phone plan is my DH's company's so I don't think FIL would appreciate add'l charges! LOL

ibaby - this one is super cool! It's a baby monitor! You set it next to your sleeping kid and program it to call a number when the noise level gets to medium. It can call a cell, a landline, whatever. We use this when we're at parties or my mom's when the kids fall asleep and there is no monitor.
AppBox Lite - to help figure random stuff out
Baby Soothe and Sleepmaker - white noise for babies
Hangman
Enjoy your new phone!
