just got the droidx and want to know in your opinion what the best app or apps are and please explain what the do. and what are the must have apps for the phone as far as getting the most out of my device?
That isnt an easy question to answer because people use their device for all sorts of different things. I use it for music...often. So, if you want good streaming music, download Pandora and Slacker apps. For me right now, Pandora gets my vote as my favorite app. But, i've tried and downloaded and installed hundreds of different apps for different reasons.
Oh...also any of the Emulators for the old gaming systems. Snesoid is a blast!

I don't have my phone with me now,so have to think of the apps off my head.
The most "needed" apps I would say get would be where's my droid, sms back up, hi aim, handcent sms and ringdroid
thanks figured i'd hear from more than 2 people both helpful so far though is froyo here?

Easy. The way I do it is I open a CD in iTunes. Then I can just drag & drop songs directly into the sd card music/playlist folder
That question is very subjective. What is the best apps? They are the apps you are interested in. I downloaded some games, some literature, some business apps, Opera Mini, Pandora, Calvin and Hobbes, Task killer and a few others. Of these, I use the business apps and literature most of all. Task killer runs in the background. One piece of advice I can give when looking at the apps, read the revues.

I think the phone is a great music player. The sounds are crisp and the interface is straightforward. I use windows media player to synch to my phone. Put the CD in your PC and use WMP to rip it to your phone directly. You can choose to rip in MP3 or WMA. I use WMA because at the same compression size you get better bitrates.
And, since we are talking about Apps...i forgot to mention that instead of the default music player, i use an app called "Player" interface is familiar and it works like the standard player but provides access to artist info/ lyrics and i think more file compatibility.
fyi...i have about 10gigs of music on my sd card and xfered them to a folder i made named "music"
Also, watch out you don't xfer any DRM protected music files, the X won't play them.
