Hey SRF'ers, i just bought myself a new phone last week, Sony Xperia Z.
My previous phone was an android phone as well, i'm familiar with the OS and with many of it's apps. Since we may not all be and since you guys may be able to give me some good suggestions for awesome apps I've yet to discover, i'm asking you guys for suggestions.
I'll start off by naming a bunch of apps that i enjoy using.
Note that some of these will be Dutch, as i am from the Netherlands.
If the topic gets a lot of traffic i can update the list based on your guys' input. If many of you are Iphone users the topic can be updated to include those too
