Most Important App For Sprint Touch

Hey guys, my Touch landed today. One of the first things that impressed me was how slick it was out of the box. I'm really impressed with the way it runs stock. The only apps I've added so far are MMS and FlashVideoBundle. So my question to you all is this...what do you think is the most important app you can add to the Touch? If you could only add one, what would it be?

And by the way, you users who switched from the Mogul to the Touch, let me know if you're glad you switched or not. Just gathering some opinions here.

I'm glad I switched from the mogul, the size factor is a must and the looks is way better IMO. I think it's also more stable as it has the double amount of ram the mogul does.But I do miss the qwerty keyboard, haven't found an alternative that stands up to a hardware kb.
As for the one and only apps, I would say opera mobile, it way better than PIE, I love it.

opera mini (Free) and iGuidance ($100.00-ish).

I didn't find Opera Mobile much better than PIE. PIE has more layout choices which I frequenty have to change depending on the site. Where as with opera mini works more like iPhone. Where it gives a summary view and then you click on text or images it will zoom in with a perfect fit to your screen for easy reading. (No panning back and forth to read an article and no overly columnized page that makes the page difficult to navigate).

TouchPal keyboard.

TouchPal for texts and quick things, SPB Fullscreen Keyboard for everything else (ESPECIALLY web browsing, TouchPal SUCKS for that).

Also, I concur on both Opera Mobile and Opera Mini. They're good for different purposes. The speed is about the same between them when you figure in the fact that Opera Mini processes everything through Opera's servers, thus causing a significant delay. Also, Opera Mini isn't something I'd use for anything you want total security on because of the backend server. I find that Opera Mini's strength comes when you are navigating large pages (Engadget comes to mind).

I 2nd that for TouchPal.....I think I can type a sentence faster.....but the best program to me is AE button Plus....I was really missin the soft keys, start & ok buttoms.....w/ AE button Plus, I have all 4 sides of the D button mapped (long press) & also the vol up & down for scrolling.

is AEButton free or how much does it cost?

It looks good, But I think I could live without if it costs money... Just dont need to pay for something like that right now...
