Before I changed to a different platform these were two of my favorites:
Swiftkey Keyboard - Keyboard app that uses AI to make typing on your Android device smart, fast and personal. It almost always knew what word I was going to type next. And there have been a few updates since then.
Edit: I also received a notice they have developed a version for Android tablets.
Gemini Calendar - Easy to use calendar application that synchronizes data with Google Calendar. The developer is very responsive and offers the app as donationware. Also has quite a long forum thread on Android Forums

I'm not sure whether he was driving or a passenger, but I know that he was testing it out to see how things worked and if they worked well. It went flawlessly for him.
But that's the thing -- If you have decent infrastructure where you live, your mobile experience is completely different. Here where I live it's like the dark ages in comparison. (I'm still very much frustrated by being spoiled with the best networking infrastructure in the world in Seoul -- anything else is a massive drop and the problems here are relatively well known.)

Wow. You all really use all that?

Well, you did choose arguably one of the most forked 3G networks in Australia :P
Lesson #1: Never, ever buy a locked mobile in Australia. (Or don't buy where you're locked into a contract.)
Lesson #2: The lower the frequency, the better the solid object penetration.
eg. Telstra: 850MHz everywhere + a lot more towers.
Optus/Vodafone: 900MHz Rural & 2100MHz Metro (Although they are starting to install 850MHz - bit late me thinks.)

Yeah... Vodafone sucks beyond comprehension. My phone isn't locked, but I have a contract. :( I wanted the HTC Desire HD, and that's all I could get.
But even when I'm outside, it's pathetic. Vodafone is really much worse than simply "bad". Not 3G, but 0G. Most data transmission is not 3G. Horribly miserable.
Live & learn I suppose.
