Aldiko - Read books (most of which are free) on your phone.
OI File Manager - Browse and manage files on your phone and memory card.
Pandora - Listen to music. Suggests music based on your tastes.
Shazam - Identify songs by holding your phone up to a music source.
Tapatalk - View supported forums as you would a menu on your phone.

Which ones do you recommend for customizing the phone?
...
Depends on what you're trying to customize. If you're not a fan of the built-in messaging app on the Eris, then I recommend chompSMS. I'm honestly not a fan of widgets, and most of the apps that were pre-installed on the phone are among the best that you can get, in my opinion. As such, the only customization that I've felt the need to do is maybe changing the wallpaper and organizing my home screens.
If you'd like some advice on apps, though, then let me know what you'd like to customize in particular on your phone. I'll try to make recommendations, as I don't mind trying new apps.
...
Well I like customizing partically everything I possibly can. But I think it would be best to get the phone first and then ask, cuz that would make more sense. I think I'm getting too excited, I know my LG enV touch has different fonts, but I would like more. Are there any apps for font?
...
Yes, you can download font packs, although you can only change the fonts if a specific app supports it. Interestingly, some apps that support other fonts will detect font packs embedded within other apps.
...
I love ChompSMS!!!
Not only is it cool looking but it is the only way I could save a picture from a text..THANK YOU!!
...
It's possible to save photos in the default messaging app, as well, but it's nice to hear that you like chompSMS.
...
tell me more abou chompSMS.....whats it like? ๐คจ
...
It's just a highly customizable messaging app. You can have your conversations appear in conversation bubbles, as well as in the more standard fashions. You can change virtually every aspect the color scheme, even using images on your phone within the theme, which is certainly a nice touch, as well.
...
bubbles? kinda like the iphone ๐ฒ that would be awesome and is this app free??? also once you download it do you have to download different things for it aswell kinda like the better keyboard? THX IN ADVANCE
...
Yes, it's free, and you don't need to download anything extra for it (although I suppose that you could download extra font packs, if you wanted to). The app is very customizable. I've noticed that a lot of people prefer Handcent to chompSMS, but I thought that chompSMS was the better-looking of the two. Handcent is definitely more customizable, but more so on the back end of things.
...
Does anyone here know if the Eris (Verizon) has the app. Scanner Radio? Friend just got his Blackberry and he has this app. It allows you to listen in on Police and Fire scanner freq.
...
only thing that came up under scanner radio is some kind of WIFI analyzer โน๏ธ it would be cool to have an app like that...try to find out the specific name of the app. But if u do like apps like that i have an app on my ERIS called "TRAPSTER" its pretty cool youll have to just check it out ๐
...
here are some i like....
COLORNOTE - i must have a notepad to remind myself of things
MISSED REMINDER - lets u set up an alert for missed calls and/or missed txt messages. love this
SHH!AUTO-SILENCER LITE - lets you set up a time to let your phone automatically go into vibrate/silent mode. i have it setup to turn on & off everyday for the time i'm at work since i tend to 4get to silence the phone at times. cool app
WHERE'S MY DROID - if you misplace the phone & its on silence/vibrate, send a text msg to ur cell & the phone will start ringing w/ a sound so u can locate it.
SHAZAM - which i think someone already mentioned. let's u identify the name of a song by placing your phone near speaker
...
Can't believe no one has mentioned ringdroid. Takes clips of your mp3s and allows you to set as notifications or ringtones. Every ringtone I use, I've made with this program. Very user friendly as well. If you like customization, you might like some of the lock screen apps. Lockbot and Lock 2.0 are the main ones. I used Lock 2.0. I absolutely hated the stock music player, so I am currently using meridian noble, but I'm not super excited about it either. new program called gesture search is cool. allows you to search music, bookmarks, contacts, and apps by gesture (may only be available if you've dl the 2.1 leak), Urbanspoon is cool for finding random places to eat, newsrob for google readers or rss feeds, and Opera mini 5 beta is blazing fas...
