Looks like your missing Pandora. Must have app.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pandora-radio/id284035177?mt=8

I also like Red Laser. It's great if your in a store and about to buy something that cost a lot. Just scan the barcode, and it will tell you what it cost online. It will also give reviews and such. (doh! I see you have that one)

If you like making moves with it, the iMovie app is cool if you don't have a Mac.

iBooks is good to, if you like to read. There are Comic apps from Marval and DC. Check those out if you like comics.

Not sure if you know what DropBox is, but that's a great way to keep files you use all the time on both your Computer and your phone.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dropbox/id327630330?mt=8

I would get a good weather app. I like this one because it has hourly forecasts. I got it a long time ago, so there might be better ones out there.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/weatherbug-elite/id310647896?mt=8

I also use Sportacular for all my sports updates

And for the Best App of All....

TuneIn Radio
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tunein-radio/id319295332?mt=8

It will be the best $2 You spend on your phone. Over 40,000 Radio Stations, and you can record them. You can also bookmark them if you like. I listen to some NZ stations in Wellington, and some talk radio as well. Once you spend the $2 on the app, it's free. Forget about Satellite Radio, this in the car is all you need.

lol, you tout Jail-braking because it's "LEGAL", and then tell him to steal all those apps.



Lots of great apps suggested, I'll try to just raise ones that haven't been noted yet. BTW, what makes these phones 'smart' is that they're pretty much a fully-capable PC that fits in your pocket.

Files - Turns your iPhone into a wireless server, allowing you to upload/download files from another computer on the local network to the Files app. Once in Files, most documents can be read/played. Also has a browser that allows you to download from web sites and a good set of security features.

iTeleport - This one's a premium price, and worth every penny if you want a quality VNC client. Control any computer with a VNC server remotely. If you want to try out a free client, there's one called Mocha VNC. If you're a Windows user you'll probably prefer Mocha RDP. If you're a command-line warrior you'll want iSSH which also has a VNC client built-in. I guess what I'm trying to say is that remote desktop software is awesome.

Netflix - This a great service, and it has a great app. Try the one month free trial.

Air Video - Don't need Netflix because you have a bunch of videos already on your computer? Stream them to your phone with Air Video. Converts just about anything into .h264 either ahead of time or on-the-fly, and streams it to your iDevice.

Elements - A text editor that syncs with your Dropbox account. Simple, but incredibly useful for notes.

Now on to the games:

Phoenix Wright - The once rare original game, just like the DS version, but only $5.

QuickHook/HookChamp - Sort of an adventure/platformer with a great swinging mechanic. Simple controls, complex gameplay.

Texting of the Bread - A parody of the legendary Typing of the Dead. Just as fun, substantially more delicious.

Jet Car Stunts - It's like Trackmania, in the stratosphere, with a bonus rocket engine. Hell yeah.

Glyder 2 - A relaxing flight sim about collecting and exploration.

Skies of Glory - A WWII flight sim with a decent campaign and good network multiplayer.

I missed those two, because I use them Exclusively on my iPad. Great apps.

Actually, I'd say Netflix's iPad app is the worst of any platform, and I've tried it on everything but a 360. It's like they just took their website and made it extra slow and clunky. None of that matters once your stream is going, of course.

And this is a worthy point to new iPhone users who might be interested in getting an iPad down the line. iPhone apps with a little plus sign in the price tag are universal, which means they work on both devices. It was pretty sweet to have ~25 native iPad apps the first day I had my iPad at no extra charge.
