Buying a new phone is the easy part. Personalizing it to your needs and wants is another thing. To get you started we have made a list of the top 10 best free apps for your Droid X. These are just a few to get you going with your Droid X.

#1 Google Goggles

Google Goggles is an awesome app to have. It allows pictures taken with your phone to be recognized by Google for searches. You don’t have to type or speak in your search terms. Just take a picture and Google goes from there. Great for recognizing Brands, Landmarks, books, cds, DVDs or text.

#2 Shazam

Shazam is a music recognition app. It “listens” to the song of your choice and recognizes it from the music database. Simply press the button and allow it to hear the music. It will recognize the name of the song, the artist and, the album. It will even allow you to purchase the song if you choose to.

#3 Facebook

Well Facebook is Facebook. We all know Facebook, but having it on the go is essential for keeping up with your friends. Facebook for Android has steadily improved since its beginnings. In short who doesn’t want to know what their friends are up to even when you’re not at your computer?

#4 Kindle for Android

The Kindle app allows you to browse over 600,000 Amazon titles on your phone. With the huge screen on your Droid X it makes reading a lot easier on the eyes.

#5 Pandora

Pandora is a streaming music app that plays “similar” songs to the ones you choose. They have an amazingly huge library of music that will keep you going for hours on end.


#6 Advanced Task Killer

This is a must have app for any Android user. It kills background apps and frees up memory on your phone. By selecting the frequency rate that it kills background apps, it allows you to not have to manually do so. It also allows you to select what apps to ignore and keep running(Alarm Clocks, Pandora, ETC…)

 

#7 Astro File Manager

File managers are another essential app for Android users. This app allows you to move files around from internal memory to SD cards at your will. You can manage your files and folders much like on your computer.

 

#8 Google Maps

How did we ever remember numbers before cell phones? It’s much like that when you have a GPS in your vehicle as well. Now there is no need to buy a pricey GPS system when you have one on your Droid. Google Maps is in my opinion one of the best GPS devices out there. Offering all the services as its counterpart on your computer, you have it on the go to get you where you’re going.

#9 Shop Savvy

This app uses a bar-code scanner from your camera to read information on a specified product. Once identified it will show you comparison pricing from online and local vendors. If you are a fan of comparison shopping this is a must-have app for your Android.

#10 Weather Channel

If you ever wanted to know what the weather holds for you today, this is the app for you. It is very easy to use and user friendly. It has many features that other weather apps lack. On top of being the most downloaded weather app in the market, it is top three downloaded app of all time.
