Where is everyone getting their apps, which website?

From the Marketplace, right on the phone.

The Audible.com app is out now. I can now listen to my books on my phone!

Well that was too easy . I was looking for a website like Crackberry.com . Thanks. I downloaded Weatherbug, Nook and the bar code scanner thing. I can't get my Outlook Calendar to snyc though-some setting on my computer is preventing the download and I can't figure out which one.

LOL, have fun shopping in the marketplace, you can spend hours!!

Yes, I used to frequent crackberry, but this is much easier.

I have had my Droid for about 4-5 weeks now. I have the advance task killer installed, but still feel like my battery is dead within 24 hours, usually less. What else can I do to lengthen the battery life?

Thanks!

I have that same problem too

I have that same problem too

Deciding between the Droid X and Drioid 2. The main difference I see is the s had the keyboard and the X has a bigger screen...

All the main reviews I have seen show the battery life is an issue for everyone... I can't imagine charging my phone daily.. as it is I only do it every 5 or so days with my current phone

Loving all these app suggestions..

I was deciding between the same and the big screen won out. I LOVE the Droid X. I wasn't too sure about the touch screen keyboard but it is REALLY easy to use-easier then a real keyboard if you ask me. It also gives word suggestions as you type so you can just click on that word to save time too.

My battery life is pretty good so far. I did notice it drained quickly today but then noticed that a website on the browser was "searching' after I thought I turned it off-it was working in the background. I haven't found a way to turn off the browser after I use it yet. I got my phone on Tuesday, charged it up then, just needed to recharge it this afternoon (and probably wouldn't have needed to do that if that browser wasn't working for a couple hours without me knowing).

If you find a way to turn it off, let me know!

Will do--

My kids (7,10 and 13) love the Ghost Radar Classic. It supposedly tells you when ghosts are near and can "say" whatever the ghost is saying. I had it at work one night and was standing just outside of the psychiatric area in the emergency room when it said "mad" and almost immediately after that said "wild." I passed by Food Lion and it said "milk" and just as I was about to turn it said "corner" Of course, it also says random words that make no sense. But it is fun.

Please keep 'em coming! I just ordered my DROID X! Waiting by the mailbox for it!

I would be totally happy with 24 hour battery life.. mine is lasting a little longer than that depending. But my husband has the droid eris and within 6-8 hours its full on dead.. to the point of shutting off. Its really ridiculous.

And ya know verizon... "we sell batteries" err no the phone is 3 months old.. fix it!

I will show this thread to my son. He just got the droid epic today. At first he said he wanted the evo so I finally got my hands on one of those then as soon as the order was in he said he wanted the epic. His other phone died 2 weeks ago so we just got the cheapest one we could get at sprint while waiting on a droid. I hope sprint doesn't give me any crap about returning it. And with buying the evo and the other cheap one using my discount I had to pay full price for the epic so I am hoping they credit me back that. HOLY CRAP those phones are expensive. I wouldn't pay that for one for me thats for sure but my son is a good kid that rarely asks for anything. So I willl subscribe to this thread and then if I can ever afford it after the cost of the phone I will get him some apps. I still don't get what the big deal is about these phones though.

Most apps are free. Right on the phone in the market. a few costs, just tell him not to download those.

Angry Birds Lite. (Don't be confused by the paid version which isn't the original)

Just came out today, and is awesome. It is the #1 game on the iPhone.
