What apps to get?

I'm getting a new Driod Razr for Christmas and have absolutely no idea what apps to get. Shocking, isnt it? A 20 year old with no idea on new technoogy. Lol anyway I'm sure I will find a few here and there but are there any out there that are "must have"? I've been reading a lot about tapa talk, what is it? I'm a Firefighter and Pilot so anything in that area would be great too.

Tapatalk has some good forums, I'm on a few, but there's no access to f150online which is a shame.

The flash light app is useful if you have a flash

And of course games

Zedge is a good one for wallpapers, notifications sounds and ringtones.

Amazon Appstore - they give a paid app for free everyday. Mostly crap but there's good ones.
Moto Torch LED - uses camera flash for flashlight
Pandora
Photobucket
ESPN Scorecenter
WeatherBug - I got the Elite version as a free DL from Amazon Appstore
Zedge - ringtones/notifications

And all 3 versions of Angry Birds
