As of tomorrow, I will be a new Storm 2 user. I currently have a curve. I wanted something different. VZ is offering the Palm soon (forgive me for saying that)... but my corporate IT dept will not sync up the exchange with anything but blackberry or windows mobile OS. So, I purchased the storm 2 (and hoping it works ok).
What are MUST HAVE apps? and... what other apps are great for making the storm unique as compared to the curve?
You may want to post this question in the Storm 2 section. But I agree, quickLaunch is a great app. I removed quickpull after buying QuickLaunch. QuickLaunch will do reboots.
Most of the good apps have been mentioned, I do like ViiGo and think that is a great app. On the Storm 1 I use it less because of the memory leaks but on the Storm 2 that should not be an issue.
Also ProOnGo is really good.
If you like to read on your phone, since you have more screen real-estate MobiPocket/B&N Reader
Some of the pay apps
PodTrapper, QuickLauncher, and RepliGo (a must if you read PDF on your phone)
Definitley QuickPull. That's the first thing I got when I got my S1 & 2. Also, for listening to music, I prefer Slacker to Pandora. I also have Nobex Radio Companion for listening to out of state radio stations (I'm a Boston fan stuck in Jersey, so it comes in VERY handy!)
For fun and security I would also recommend BerrySlider, as well as SimpleWeather.
I got quicklaunch... but I can't figure out how to schedule reboots. I have been through the menu, searched the software site, and can't find it. Can you shed some light? I had quickpull on my old curve, but the functionality of quicklaunch along with scheduling reboots pushed me over the edge.
Also... when i hit the reboot... it asks me if I want to reset my device. Is this just asking about doing a soft-reset? Or is this going to wipe my device?

Yes, resetting the device will only simulate a battery pull, it will not wipe it.
I would also like to know how to schedule resets with QL, I haven't found a way either.
RIM IM Apps or BeeJive, whichever your poison. Google Maps, Facebook, BerryBlab, Viigo (Replaces so many specialty apps), foursquare if you're into that, edocrab for barcode scanning, Mobile Tracker (I <3 this app) for VZW minutes and bill updates, SpoofAPP I JUST downloaded and looks wonderful so far. I'd suggest Slacker Radio over Pandora for a few reasons as well.
As for games I'm wanting to get my hands on Lexolous and Drug Lord.
Must haves for me are AP News, BerryWeather, Flixster, Pandora, Quicklaunch, Pocket Informant, Compass, VZ Navigator. Enabling GPS was one of the best choices, also - allows great apps like VZN and Flix and Compass to work.

along with most of the other peeps , but 1 I use often is memory boost .After I have been stormin it can feel sluggish so a quick Memory boost and all is well . If you hook it up to your email make sure you have your spam filter and create custom filter words so all teh spam doesnt get through .
