Essential Mango apps

edit: how is the turn by turn with Nokia Drive vs Google Nav?

In some ways better, in some ways worse. The biggest advantage for Nokia is offline maps - its much better implemented and fast. Getting new directions when you make a wrong turn is nearly immediate, and you can choose entire states or countries to download.

However, its also clearly younger software. Its pretty barebones right now - no alternate routing, no saving favorite places (although it maintains history of places you've been), no integration with the native Bing search. It definitely shows a lot of potential if Nokia keeps on top of updates, and for what its worth, it crushes the native Maps navigation functionality.

What alarm app do you guys use? I used Alarm Clock Xtreme on my Android. But I'm unable to find a WP7 replacement. Basically it's an alarm that plays music from your library, has an ease in volume thing. A math question option for shutting it off, and shake to snooze.

Funny....I haven't even tried the alarms on WP yet. Had one since last August or September. Old OG Droid in dock does it for me. Of course...I haven't set an alarm really since being laid off end of last September either. D::hmm:
