Must Have:

• Jbak Taskman - (Free) - This is a MUST have on your E71x.  It is more than a simple task manager, as it allows you to quickly see what applications are running and having shortcuts to your apps all on the SAME screen.  You can also have this app autostart any other apps when the phone is turned on.  This feature alone is worth its price in gold (except that it is free).  The menus and options can be somewhat overwhelming at first, but after you figure it out, you will never go back.  
• Nokia PC Suite - (Free) - AT&T is not going to tell you about this, but if you need to sync contacts, install applications, transfer files etc (which is about everyone), you simply need this app.  I don't know why this software did not come with the phone.  Crazy...
• Nokia Ovi Suite - (Free) - This new suite is to replace Nokia PC Suite.  Check this out first before trying Nokia PC Suite.
• Nokia Ovi Store - (Free) - This is the official Nokia app store.  There are plenty of free (and non-free) apps and media for you to check out and download.
  

Email:

• Nokia Messaging - (Free) - According to others, this is a great alternative to the preinstalled AT&T client.  However, I cannot seem to get one of my email accounts to work.  Your mileage may vary.
• ProfiMail - ($) - Although this is not free, it is the most robust email application if you are using IMAP or POP mail.  I got it for about US $25 and it is totally worth it if email is critical to you.
• RoadSync 4 - ($) - If your emails come from an Exchange server (most corporate emails are), then this is the alternative to the built in AT&T Mail for Exchange.
• Seven - (Free) -  I tried this app a while back but never got it to work.  Apparently, some of the readers here confirmed that it is working on the E71x.

Browser:

• Skyfire - (Free) - The built-in WAP browser is great (and I use it quite often), but if you want to surf the web as the designers intended, then run (don't walk) to this site and get this great browser.
• Opera Mini - (Free) - I just downloaded and installed this baby.  If I am correct, this one displays the WAP version of the site if available, otherwise it shows the full HTML page.  Note that currently, there are two versions of this browser - version 4.2 and 5 beta.
  
• Opera Mobile 10 Beta  - (Free) - Unlike the Opera Mini, this browser is specifically aimed towards smartphones and touchscreen devices.  It is a full HTML web browser which means it will always display the full HTML page of a web site.
• Bolt - (Free) - Claimed to be one of the fastest (if not the fastest) browser for mobile phones.  For a quick review of this browser, check out this blog entry by Stephen.
• UC Browser - (Free) - According to Stephen, navigation is slightly different from other browsers, with a little less polished interface.

Instant Messaging:

• Nimbuzz - (Free) - This is the IM & chat client I used on my phone.  It supports AOL, Yahoo!, Skype, Windows Live, Facebook, Google Talk, Twitter, and the list goes on. I tried a few others and this one seems to work the best for me.  Again, you may like others better.
• Fring - (Free) - This is very similar to Nimbuzz.  Other people really like this one.  I used it for a while but decided to switch to Nimbuzz.
• Palringo - (Free) - Never tried this IM & chat client.  Some seems to like this one also.  
• eBuddy - (Free) - Never tried this one either, but others recommend this one on another blog.
• Talkonaut - (Free) - So many IM & chats clients, so little time :-(.

SMS Messaging:

• ThreadSMS  - ($) - A SMS specific chat client recommended by a reader. One of the cool features is its support for lots of smileys and emoticons.
• SMS Chat - ($) - This looks like a SMS specific chat client that organizes all your SMS messages in a chat-like format.  This looks like a useful app if you do a lot of SMS messaging and wants to keep the thread with each person separate and organized.
• iSMS - (Free / Unsigned) - This is a free app similar to ThreadSMS displaying all your SMS messages in a chat-like format grouped by senders.  However, this does not seem like a well supported app.  The author's web site is currently down (note that the download link provided is not the official link).  Worst of all, you have to sign this app yourself before you can use it which can be difficult and time consuming.   

Communications:

• Skype - (Free) - I don't know how to categorize Skype but as most people know, it allows you make free or very cheap phone calls via your phone's Wi-Fi connection.  With a Skype to Go number, you can even start making very inexpensive international calls from your mobile phone!

Twitter/Facebook:

• Gravity - ($) - Once again, this one is not free but this is the best "looking" twitter app for E71x.  I guess you get what you pay for!
• Tweets60 - (Free) - I haven't tried it since the "looks" of Gravity has pretty much convinced me not to keep looking.  
• Twibble - (Free) - This is in beta and each version will expire on a certain date.  I haven't tried this application so use at your own risk.
  
• AT&T Social Net - (Free) - Apparently, AT&T recently released a free application called SocialNet, which was built by iSkoot. It provides access to Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace, in a carousel view.  Try it if you dare.
• Facebook Client - (Free) - Nokia does not allow you to download the official Facebook client for the E71x (probably thanks to AT&T), so we decided to provide it for you.  Of course, as the saying goes, there are no guarantees and use at your own risk. 
  

Google:

• Google Mobile Apps - (Free) - Instead of listing all the available Google apps, you can simply go here and download to your heart's content.  The ones that you definitely want are Google Maps, YouTube, and Google Search.
• gReader - ($) - A client that aggregates web contents you have subscribed to using the Google Reader.
• Google Sync - (Free) - This allows you to sync your Google contacts and calendar with your E71x.
  

Music/Video:

• Nokia Internet Radio - (Free) - Yes, this comes from a site in Europe (after all, Nokia is a European company).  In any case, this is a GREAT app.  You can now listen to all the Internet radio stations from your phone.  
• Mobbler - (Free) - Last.fm radio player and scrobbler.  You need to sign-up for an account at Last.fm.  I just tried this app a few minutes ago and it took a while to get it to work.  Slightly flakey is my first impression, but hey, it is open source.
• CorePlayer - ($) - According to William, one of the readers, this is the best media player for the E71x. It supports a wide range of audio, video, and image formats.  
• Qik  - (Free) - Suggested by reader William, he said "if you like taking a lot of videos and don't want the hassle of uploading it yourself, Qik is your answer. It is free and once you have it installed, all you have to do is point and press stream which is the left soft button and then stop and it will upload it to your Qik account automatically".
• Shazam  - (Free) - This is a cool music ID app and service that is temporary available for free.  Basically, it will attempt to sample the song/music that is currently playing and identify the title and artist etc.
• Mundu Radio - (Free) - Alternative Internet radio player.  Minimal functionality and nothing to shout home about.
  

Photo:

• Nokia Photo Browser - (Free) - Here is a cool alternative to the built-in image viewer on the E71x.  It is developed by none other than Nokia itself.  Not as feature rich as the Resco Photo Viewer (see below), but it is free!  It also has a very cool 3D scrolling effects as you browse through your images.  A MUST try!
• Resco Photo Viewer - ($) - I installed the trial version and have played with it for a little bit.  It looks like a very good photo and image viewer.  Unfortunately, it is quite expensive for what it does (IMHO).

Geo/Location:

• Phone Locator - (Free) - According to Stephen, the phone basically uses your phone's GPS to track its location at user-defined intervals. Then you can log into a web site and it will display the location of your phone on a map.  Great for locating a stolen or lost phone!
• Garmin Mobile XT - ($) - Provides full-featured navigation to your E71x. Comes installed on a data card and provides pre-loaded maps, spoken turn-by-turn directions, real-time services, and many other pretty neat features.  However, the price is pretty steep.  For a detailed review, check out this blog entry by Ankur Patel.
  

Games:

• vBag - ($) - For Game Boy Advanced fans (yeah, remember that?), this is a Game Boy Advanced emulator running on your phone.  Yes, that means you can play Game Boy Advanced games on your E71x.  I tried the trial version and was able to get as far as loading a couple of games.  However, I wasn't able to actually play them because it wants a registration number (and I wasn't about to pay $30).
• Global Race Raging Thunder - (Free) - Cool racing game for your E71x.  It has great graphics, background music, and the frame rate is quite acceptable.  It has single player as well as multi-player mode.  The game modes available are arcade, championship, and time attack.
• Top Hits Solitaires - (Free) - Great way to kill time with this free solitaire game.  With a collection of 15 solitaires you'll surely get incomparable pleasure from this unhurried game and enjoy specially selected the most popular solitaires. Master many famous and well-known games such as Freecell, Klondike, Spider, Pyramid, Joker, Carpet, Golf, Canfield, Yukon, and discover the newest and unknown.  

Travel:

• WorldMate - (Free/$) - The free version provides weather forecasts for over 1,000 cities, world clocks, and currency coverter.  The paid version provides flight status for more than 175 airlines and real-time alerts for flight delays and cancellations.
• Psiloc World Traveler - (Free/$) - Similar to WorldMate, this is a free app to download and install and provide four free services (weather, world clock, currencies, and world map).  The paid services are flights updates and travel safe to store personal and sensitive data.

Business:

• Bloomberg- (Free) - As for Bloomberg does best, it provides the latest business news, stock quotes, equity indices, commodity, currency and bond prices. 

Blogging:

• WordMobi - (Free) - This apps allows you to update your WordPress blog right from your phone. The only draw back is you need to install python to get it to work.

Shopping:

• ZebraScan - (Free) - This was brought to my attention by a user on the AT&T forum.  You use the phone's camera to take a picture of a product's barcode at the store and the app will search the Internet for product names matching the scanned code and provides links to Google, Amazon, Ebay.  I haven't tried it myself but will give it a test drive next time I go shopping!

Online Services:

• Netflix - (Free) - Update your Netflix queue.wherever your are and whenever you want with this app.  And no, you cannot stream movies from Netflix to your beloved E71x. 
• Snaptu - (Free) - This app is hard to explain.  It is basically an app that allows you to access a bunch of other online services (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Picasa, Flickr, AccuWeather) and more. 

Office Related:

• QuickOffice - ($) - In case anyone is interested, there is a "Premier" version available on this site.  I haven't had a need to try it so I have no idea what the difference is between this version and the one that came with the phone.  The site also offers other apps such as calendar, clocks, and dictionary.
• Calc Sheet Lite - (Free) - An alternative to QuickOffice's spreadsheet program.  According to the web site, it has a wide range of mathematical functions and unlimited number of worksheets.
  

Fitness:

• SportTracker - (Free) - Thanks to reader, spiralsofgrace, for pointing this app out.  It is a free beta app from Nokia that will help you track your workouts.  It uses the GPS on your phone to record speed, distance, and time and automatically stored the results in your training diary.  Currently, there are no E71x version.  Instead, try out the N78 version.  The E71 version seems to have issues on the E71x.

Tools:

• Screenshot - (Free) - I discovered this app from this blog (How to Take a Screenshot).  It is written by a guy named Antony Pranata from Canada.  If you find it useful, consider making a small donation on his site
• Profile Scheduler  - (Free / Unsigned) - Stephen recommeded this application and it comes very handy if you are one of those people (I am one of them) who keep switching phone profiles before going to bed and after getting up in the morning.  Note that you want to download the unsigned version of this app.  For details and instructions, go to this blog entry!
• Switch Off - (Free / Unsigned) - Stephen found this Russian app that can automatically switch off your phone at a preset time or after an inactivity period.  He also figured out how to make the phone turn on by itself at a specific time!  Check out his blog entry for more info.  BTW, since the official site is Russian, you may want to try this alternative download location.
  
• X-plore - ($) - Probably the best file browser for this phone.  You can download this app and use it to remove the AT&T bloatware on this phone.  You can find instructions over at Nokia Experts.
• Y-Browser  - (Free / Unsigned) - Another file browser app.  There is a signed and unsigned version.  However, I highly recommned the unsigned version as the signed version contains adtronic, an intrusive piece of adware that pollutes your phone with advertisements when you get called or receive an SMS.
  
• cClock - (Free) - Great little screensaver app that display the date and time prominently when the phone goes into screensaver mode.  You no longer have to squint at the tiny date and time the phone provides.  It even comes with a handy little stopwatch function!
  
• Cute Keys - ($) - This is another app that allows you to assign shortcuts to open applications, documents, create SMS messages, or call someone.  However, after paying for this app, I found Jbak TaskMan which I think actually does a much better job.  If you don't like Jbak TaskMan, give this one a try.
• Putty - (Free) - This one is for system admins and geeks only.  If you don't know what this is, you don't need it :-).
• JoikuSpot - (Free/$) - Recommended by Kenneth, this app allows you to creates a WiFi access point on your phone so you can easily connect your devices to the Internet. The free light version doesn't allow you to set a password on the access point, so you may want to monitor the connection once its active. 
• Best Answering Machine - ($) - As the name implies, it answers your incoming calls and let the callers leave a message which you can listen to later.  What's the difference between this and voicemail?  Well, you don't have to call voicemails to get your messages with this app.  You can also set different greetings for different contacts or group of contacts. 
• SmartLight - ($) - Stephen found this app.  This is a simple app that keeps the backlight on for all screens other than the idle screen. Although it may not be obvious why this is useful, it is great for a number of reasons.  See the quick writeup here for an explanation.
• NTorch Lite - ($) - Need a flashlight in an emergency but don't have one.  With this app, you can turn your E71x into one!  It is even smart enough to reduced the power of the light beam so that it can stay on for a much longer period of time.   With this app, you can send out SOS signals or just annoy other people by flashing them when you are really bored.
• DialMyWord - (Free) - This application lets you dial words on your Java-enabled QWERTY phone. If you know the mnemonic phone number, like 1-800-FLOWERS, you can type that word and the program will convert it to the appropriate number.
• FontRouter - (Free / Unsigned) - An open source app to give user more controls over font mechanism on Symbian, such as loading 3rd-party font file, font substitution, size adjustment.  You can use this app in conjuction with FontRouterMan to install and change your fonts on your E71x.  See this article by Stephen for more details. 
• FontRouterMan - (Free) - Provides an interface to FontRouter.
• HelloOX2 - (Free / Unsigned or $) - an one step hacking tool for all Symbian S60 3rd & 5th phone, allowing you to install any unsigned apps without any work.
