Noboday???

I'll start then. I haven't had a Windows OS or Nokia phone in like a decade, but I'm really liking the Nokia map & turn by turn navi app. It works as well as Google maps and no lag whatsoever!

For Twitter, I recommend Rowi. It shows mentions in the Live Tiles.

My top Apps:

First off: OneNote is simply the best app ever. I love how I can use it on my Windows PC and sync it. The only issue is that they haven't made a MAC version of this app. if they ever do, I would pay up to $500 for it. I have thought about buying windows and putting it on my Mac just to use this app. Simply OneNote for windows phone which is part of the Office Hub is the best thing about WindowsPhone period. It is one of the most powerful productivity apps ever!

Here are the top apps I use

1. Rowi
2. Gtasks Plus (google calendar task manager)
3. Mythings to do (another task manager)
4. Facebook App
5. ESPN (by Nokia)
6. ESPN ScoreCenter
7. Seattle Traffic Map (one of the most used apps)
8. Board Express pro
9. CNN (by Nokia)
10. Amazon Kindle (for College E-Books in PDF Format)
11. Fhotoroom (it is kind of like instagram only worse) haha
12. Reinstaller (you can reinstall all your apps when you switch phones or have an issue that requires a hard reset)
13. Stop the Music!
14. Thumpa photo editor
15. Thumpa Cam
16. weather
17. Yelp

Board Express Pro is cool. I saw some negative reviews, but I've had no issues with it.

ESPN (by Nokia)
ESPN ScoreCenter

What is the difference between these two?

I like Reader2Go do RSS feeds, since it syncs with Google Reader and shows most recent feed in Live Tiles.

Nokia ESPN app: is mostly a news reader. The downside is that it doesn't work with myESPN. (your teams ect...). If ESPN/Nokia add support for myESPN then there would be no need for ScoreCenter.

ScoreCenter: is an espn app that actually uses your myESPN account. You can just browse the teams you want to follow. The bad thing about ScoreCenter is that it puts adds on top of the navigation menu when viewing a game. Kind of sucks.

Awesome! Thanks for posting. Hopefully, this thread will get people new to W7 in the right direction.

Thanks! I don't have a myESPN account anyway. That helps, though.

I might do that when football season starts.

I don't care for baseball. I love basketball and football. Unfortunately, the Cavs are about done, and the Browns will not be starting for a while.
