Hi
I love my iPhone 3G mostly for the apps I can run.
What's your top 5 apps for the iPhone all (models)

Can be anything from games to business etc... anything
 
I've simplified my usage over the past year. I used to download and try numerous apps daily. Now, I mainly play Fuzzball (highly recommended, check it out) and use Twitter as an RSS reader. Netflix and Hulu are good but I rarely use them.
 
I def love Boom Button...i love annoying kids with different tones!!!

For movies i love Air Video...

ummm, for games...angry birds (obviously).

pandora for all my streaming audio needs

and finally Downloads...to download anything to my phone and drag it onto my computer through itunes...works amazingly!
 
My top 5 eh?

1) Speed Channel
2) Real Racing 2 or Plants vs Zombies
3) Soundhound
4) Star Walk
5) Brushes
 
The 5 apps I use the most are:

1. Scrabble
2. Today (the best to do app I've found)
3. Pulse (awesome news app)
4. Lose It (lost 6 lbs so far in a month of using it)
5. Awesome Note (worlds ahead of any other notes app)
 
Spb Wallet
Etrade
Pandora w/ unlimited skip hack ;)
Firefox Home (syncs bookmarks from PC)
BeejiveIM
Netflix ... I'm surprised how many movies I watch on my iPhone.
VLC
Navigon
ESPN Score Center
Logmein
Dropbox
Evernote
Yahoo messenger(mainly for video calls)
Skype
CamScanner
Google Voice

The rest that I use frequently are the default apps and some jailbreak apps.

You got to be jailbroken. Gets rid of the ads too. I think I seen a thread on it in the hacks section. Also if you already updated the app to the latest version, you might be out of luck.
 
1. Pandora
2. Netflix
3. Hulu +
4. Scrabble
5. Nightstand

New one i got that is growing on me is the PBS for both ipad and iphone.
