Nokia N900 is still my all-time favorite mobile. So it happened I had to reflash my device and install every app again. I thought maybe I should list all the apps I see as essential for everyday use. Maemo has gotten some criticism in the past about not having enough software, which really is a ridiculous claim if you ask me. It is not always that easy to choose from the many available choices you have, as the repository is huge. There are of course plenty of other great apps you might want to install, but these should make your device somewhat more enjoyable and ready for day-to-day use.
Faster Application Manager
Built in application manager is slow and clumsy to use, this one is neither.
Catorise
Catorise organizes your applications menu into groups, so you'll have at least some hope of finding your application in a reasonable amount of time.
CuteTube-QML
Best Youtube (+ dailymotion & vimeo) viewer available.
Firefox
Maemo broeser is usually your top choice, but there are some sites that work better with Firefox. You should have it, if not for the features it offers, just in case you happen to need it.
Hermes
Fetch contact info and photos from social networks.
Erminig
Synchronize N900 calendar with Google.
Tickstill
It's a timer alarm, which counts both ways. Lifesaver in kitchen.
Petrovich
Share your files via Bluetooth or internet.
Conboy
Note taking application far superior to what comes with N900 by default.
Flashlight & Camera Lens Launcher
Use camera flash leds as a flashlight. Combine with CLL to get a nice menu to choose which one to launch on lens cover open.
And some more..
You might find these pretty essential too. I did.
AdBlock Plus - Block ads.
BackupMenu - Backup OS and programs. Recovery tools.
Calendar Home Widget - Calendar widget replacement.
Mobile HotSpot - Shares your 3G connection via WLAN or USB.
Open Media Player - Replacement for the stock media player.
Recaller - Call recorder. Can record from other sources too.
