and of course since you're posting on this site: WPCentral
since everyone has one: Facebook Beta. needs a special link for this one here: Facebook Beta | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)
the best photography app of all time: ProShot
and for everything else that maybe useful: Jack of all Tools
you should also check out the nokia collection in the store
enjoy!

PS: I just realize that with only a 5MP camera you might not need proshot, but it's a great app.

one trick that is extremely useful is that say if u want to type one symbol or a number, instead of having to tap the 123... key, press desired key, then tap abc... to get back, simply press 123 and hold, you'll see the keyboard change, without removing your finger, drag it to the desired key, release touch and you'll have your qwerty keyboard back try it it's neat
