A game worth dealing with itunes? Really?

I have about 150 apps on my device, and here are some of my favorites.

Widgetlocker is worth the small price.
GoLauncherEX is an excellent homescreen replacement.
Then add a custom theme and GoSwitch widget.
Quick Office Pro for spreadsheet, document creation, and power point management.
Enhanced Email for quick access to multiple email clients/servers.
Winamp for music.
QuickPic for super fast picture searching/management.
Amazon app store for access to free app of the day.
Super aTool box for device management.
GPS essentials for offline routing and tracking.
Camera ZoomFX for better picture/camera options.
ShopSavvy for barcode retail item pricing and location.
Light Flow for notification management.
File Explorer for file/folder management.
Torque for vehicle OBDii data and performance logging.
My Cars to keep track of vehicle maintenance/costs.
Gas Buddy for finding best local fuel prices.
Google Maps, Navigation, Sky, and Currents.

And of course, Drag Racing.

ok.. so what are you planning on using your phone for? the reason most people root their phones is to get rid of annoying verizon apps and gaining full access to your phone..

however doing so there is a risk you can brick your phone and rooting will void your warranty... however it is fairly safe to root, and i will be rooting mine in the near future..just waiting for the update to the razor first

yeah i would like to get rid of all the apps and hopefully get better battery life from that. my phone doesnt even make it a full day

and the apps i have are: fuelly, relax and sleep (helps to fall asleep ), temple run (never play it), colornote, draw something, twitter, photobucket, craiglist, facebook, weather channel, pandora, flashlight, advanced task killer and youtube (i think that was an app?)

Just a little fair warning....once you root your phone and start playing with ROMs, themes, etc, it gets addicting. Get to know what you are doing and you can start making your own mods. With the EVO, I found myself trying out new ROMs all the time.

XDA is probably the best place for everything you could possibly want to know about Android phones.
