Default New to Android - What Apps are best for Note?

Sorry there's probably similar threads, and I've been looking around and getting a good idea of some Apps, but was hoping people could throw down there opinions here, and why they like their Apps ect. My last phone was an HTC Touch Diamond that I had for three years, It was a windows mobile 6 phone I believe. I've been blown away by how versatile and powerful the Note is comparatively.

I'm just looking for general purpose Apps really. A good replacement web browser that can utilize our larger screen and high resolution, someone was saying we can replace the stock samsung touch keyboard? That would be nice, any suggestions ect?

Also, any good strategy games? I haven't found many, but haven't had as much time to look as I'd like.

Thumbs up Did you watch the noob video

Yes threads are already out there, so you really answered your own questions.
But I will be somewhat helpful seeing I am already typing this.

Browser: Dolphin HD- Very fast, feels like your browsing on a computer

Messege: Handcent- Good features

Keyboard: Thumbs keyboard- Just trust me

Hope this helps

Here's a thread I started back in February a few days after the AT&T pre-release.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1509315
Best phones I've had in 18 years of owning a cell phone ...................
1994 Motorola MicroTAC First "compact" cell phone, ever. My first cell phone, ever.
2007 HTC Advantage First phone with a 5" screen, ever. Had a stylus, too.
2012 Samsung Note Brilliant 5.3" screen. Useable form factor. Decent UI. Stylus. Best phone, ever.

Absolutely. I've emailed the dev asking if he'd consider integrating other deal sites, such as Tanga and daily steals. He said he would look into it but is too busy with life to deal with total redesigns right now. His app is simple, smooth, and well designed. I love the idea of picking a site then getting what you normally see in woot watcher.
