I've had my Windows Phone for over a month. (I went from the Lumia 710 to 800 as my 710 was faulty. The 800 is better in every way.) Here's a list of apps that I'm using.
Wordament: Boggle where you compete against everyone else playing the game at the same time. Really well implemented and completely addictive. Having that "you vs the Internet" is an excellent feature. I can play in Spanish now too. Genial. Free
NextGen Reader: Superb RSS reader. Best I've used on any device. $2.50
AU Weather Pro: Australia only, but best weather app I've used on either WP7 or iOS. I love the customisable live tiles! I have current temperature plus 2 day forecast on one side, and radar on the other side. $3
Call Credit: It tracks your call and data use. Works really well. Free
YouTube Download: Download any YouTube video so you can replay it whenever you want. $1
Skype: Finally out of beta. It works but it's a bit naff. Needs integrating with the OS. Needs to sort by online/offline. Needs to run in the background. Disappointing. Free
Nokia Drive: Occasionally gives the wrong advice, but generally very good. Free
Amazon Kindle: Works fine. Free
Facebook: A bit slow and a bit redundant (Facebook is basically already part of the OS). Free
Flickr: Works fine. I wish this was fully integrated into the Pictures app of the OS. Free
Office: Only time I've used this is when I needed to read my brother's Word document that he sent to me. It was all formatted really well, including images. Free
iStunt 2: Fun little game. Free (for trial version)
Skydrive: Like Dropbox but way more space. Free
