new android user, app helpz

I just got my first android(droid rezound). Can I get some app recomendations or tips that you wish to share....I am a former blackberry user:lol:

I also wanted to know if I were to download one of those books from the android market place, if it uses data when im reading them?

Depends on what you want.

Android Police is a good place to start.

Android police's every two week round up. There should seriously be a stickied thread about it. Its a fantastic supply of new games, apps, etc.

Things to keep in mind: Check permissions out before downloading anything lower rated. There could be something fishy going on

ya, i always read the review of stuff before i download...all of the reviews because I know there are fake ones. i just downloaded the defender game and it is awesome. would any of you or anyone happen to know if using my phone as a mobile hotspot would drain my monthly data and if reading downloaded books off the android market place eats at my data.

The act of downloading with, yes. In the case of stuff like amazon kindle, the actual syncing will take up data but it will be so minimal it wont really matter much

Keyboard: Swype (not in market, must be downloaded from official website or a third party website if you want a skinned version, just search on Google), Touchpal, or Swiftkey (the former support swiping, the last one doesn't).
Browser: Opera Mobile or Dolphin HD (I recommend full versions over mini because they offer more options and your phone is more than powerful enough to support them)
Music Player: PowerAmp
Music Widget: Phantom Music Control
Notes: Catch Notes, Evernote, or Springpad
Clock/Weather/Battery/etc: Simi Clock
News/Calendar/Weather/etc: Glass Widgets

wow thanks guys, that helped a lot! can't wait to start downloading haha

From what I understand downloading the book uses up some of your data allowance but once it's actually on your device you can read it as long as you want without using up data allowance.
