I thought it was about time I shared my secrets. ;) I've thoroughly tested every app. What doesn't work well, I don't post or use. Most if not all are .cab files so installing them is a snap. Some applications do require a second program for them to run, thus it would be more convienient if you were to install them first. The two files are Adobe Flash 7, and the .NET 3.5 Framwork...
Flash 7: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flash/devices/pocket_pc/installers/fp7_ppc_en.cab
.NET 3.5: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=E3821449-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385&displaylang=en
Unfortunately the .cab file is somewhat hard to find for the .net framework. The link I've inlcuded is from Microsoft and is installed from your PC. If all else fails a quick internet search for ".net compact framework cab" should get a result. Make sure you install both of these programs TO THE DEVICE.
Note...the list isn't in any order, I like them all!
FlashLIGHT
This is one of my favorite programs. It's called FlashLIGHT. It's a flash application (amusing isn't it?). It's an .exe file you copy into your programs folder under My Device>Windows>Start Menu>Programs. Then it will appear in your programs list. It's a really nice app with some really neat features...including...THE LIGHTSABER. Yes, for once, a lightsaber app for a phone without a motion sensor.

S2U2 (Slide to Unlock 2) and S2V (Slide to View)
Here's one that was just updated today! I really like this one just because it's really easy to use. It has full screen caller ID, SMS, MMS, and Email notifications. I would recommend you install it to the phone.
The other app that also works with S2U2 is S2V, it's a really nice photo viewer that you can also use to set the background to the today screen, contacts, and the background for portrait and landscape mode in S2U2.
More information and the links to download are at the developer's site...

Batti 2.4
This plugin is really handy. It's a battery gauge that sits at the top of the taskbar and shows graphically how much battery is left. There are like one or two other apps similar to this but this one is very customizeable. Install this one to the device.

HTC Home Customizer
This one is kind of nice just for a change of pace. If you're like me, you got bored looking at the same plugin. :D Install to the device.

StopWatch 2.2
Very nice chronograph app. Haptic feedback (vibrates when you tap the buttons), split, and alarms. You can install this to the storage card.

Pencil Box
This one is really nice. This is the free version, and as you will find out, you can't save your masterpieces. I have the full version and if you're into sketching like me, it's well worth the $13. You can install this to the storage card.

Kaiser Tweak
This is a MUST for any Kaiser owner. Enable HSDPA, turn off that extremely annoying startup sound, make the keyboard faster, and much more! Make sure you do a soft reset after changing any settigns. Install this to the device.

Well I think that about does it.
