My top five are:
Stanza (forget classics. Yes it's pretty, but you can choose from orders of magnitude more titles on stanza. Function over form please!)
iXpenseit
Facebook
Airsharing
Blackbeard's Revenge (zuma-like game)

I could go on, but you asked for top five only.

Top five in terms of frequency of use (not necessarily the same as importance to have)

1. Twitteriffic
2. Beejive
3. Tris (for some reason I don't think is there anymore)
4. Shazam
5. Simplify Media

 

[geekmommy4]

1. Google Mobile App
2. Shazam
3. Pandora
4. Say Who Lite (voice dialing)
5. The Weather Channel or AccuWeather (my preference, but still a bit buggy)

These are all free and just the tip of the iceberg! LOL

SlotZ
Days of Thunder
Monopoly
Dropship

I love Fieldrunners, but I continue to have some issues with it. First off, there aren't enough levels. Secondly, there need to be more weapons for use in all modes. Third, there really is very little replay value. I love the challenge of beating a level the first time, but after that there is very little appeal to the game. The last update was certainly a step in the right direction, I am just wanting a little bit more from the game to make me WANT to keep playing it. It is definitely a top 5 "must play" game, but the lack of replay value does not make it a top five game overall in my opinion.

Some of my top Apps:

iShoot (great replay value) PAID
MotionX Poker Quest (impossible to put down during your first few days with it and always fun to go back to)PAID
Pocket Money (have been using since my original jailbroken iPhone and I couldn't live without it)PAID
TwitterFon (free)
Sportacular (if you follow a lot of different sports and always want up to date scores) FREE

 

[Nckcard]

Trism FTW

 

[DynamicCoreApps]

In no real order:

1. Facebook
2. Google Earth
3. Parlingo (chat client)
4. Cube Runner
5. Tap Tap Revenge

other notables:

aurora Feint (whatever version free or paid), eBay (if you use ebay that is), Crash cart, Spore origins, Reaction Test (Biased i Know but oh well), Super Monkeyball, Air Sharing and forgot this the first time round, ijiggle (which was free a couple of days ago dont know how long it will stay that way)

How do I delete the apps on the home page?

if your talking about the ones that come with the iPhone/iPod you cant, but you can put them on a page at the end so they aren’t the first thing you see. I’m assuming you know how to move apps, if not just hold down on an app until it begins to wiggle then drag it and when done press home. If you want to delete an app that isn’t the default app, make the apps wiggle and hit the X

hope that helps

I really have fun with ipickuplines, it makes me laugh a lot.

 

[tibby05]

hold down on an icon untill the screen looks like it shakes and hit the x over the app
