So what apps have people found for their iPhones that they're happy? There's a lot avaliable for free on both the Apple iTunes store and Cydia (C).
So far my favourits have to be:

Facebook - no explanation necesary.
Swirly MMS (C) - although wiht the upcoming OS 3 it probably won't be needed much longer.
Flashlight or there is a version on Cydia which has a strobe feature and is brighter as apparently Apple limited the screen brightness.
Cycodia - a video recording program, faster and higher quality that iPhone Video Recorder.
Dictionary - self explanitory.
IceTV - TV guide.
eBay - self explanitory.
IntelliScreen - for those that used to have a Nokia Symbian handset or a Windows Mobile would be familiar with seeing the calender etc. information displayed on the background of the stand by screen, this app replicates that for the iPhone. Sadly, not as well done as you can't select something and be taken into the relevant program - e.g. select a meeting and be taken into the calender program displaying that meeting.

There's so many apps for this thing though, a great deal of them are just rubbish as why would you bother with them, but there's some really good ones in there when you find them!

Wolf3D is currently keeping me busy on the train

all the apps are free for me now w00t!

flight control is a ripper

Know of a decent app that displays your calender information on the standby screen? I found one, but it was only 10 day free trial.

Also, with a Jailbroken iPhone 3G, how do you move files into the directory of an app?

i have installous. its a OS crack.

you grab the ipa file from where ever then drag it to itunes. then you just sync your phone. should get no errors then

I'm just starting to look into this stuff now.

cydia has it, have a look around in there. once you get the ball rolling you'll find it all v easy to figure out.

i got an i phone yesterday. the only free apps I'v got so far are myspace and ebay, might ge the facebook now

optus has a good deal a the moment on iphone..

$59 cap...500mb data...$0 up front for the phone...

good deal?

sounds pritty good to me. i just got the $49 cap on optus yesterday. and im loving it. atm not sure how ill go with only 250mb of data a month tho. but 500 would be good

hey are you sure you splet cycodia right.
just because i searched in in the apps store and there was no match. and i was looking for a video recordin app

+1 im on it. i pay about $65 with insurance or something and get $350 calls and 500mb data with phone. awsome value

It will install on your iPhone when you Jailbreak it. Do some Googling on Jailbreaking.

They do it for $49.00 as well now. Less data though.

Add a data pack ontop of the 250mb and you and the salesperson will be laughing

On the 59 cap i think you can get the iphone 16gb for +$4 handset repayments..

pritty sure if ya get the 16gb on $59 cap its a $9 handset repayment. My mate got one on the 59 cap last week, they may have changed it to $4 but yeh it was $9 when he got his

ohhh and found another free app i like to use now, tap tap revenge 2.
If you like guitar hero you will like this game for i phone. kinda pointless but pritty fun if ya just waiting around for i dunno what ever you do.

If I have a folder on my PC called example.app, and it's got a bunch of files in it, and I transfer it to /Applications folder of my iPhone then it should add the app to my iPhone shouldn't it?

just out of interest have any of you done that "jailbreak" thing, what exactly does it do?

Definitely do it. It will give you access to apps which arn't allowed in the Apple store.

Lets you download and install cracked apps to use on your phone. also does a few OS hacks if you want.
