Is it worth putting any AV S/W on a HTC phone?

Also is there any app or built in S/W on the phone (Desire S) that allows you to keep track of passwords etc.

I've used Keepass on my laptops but would like something in my phone, as I sometimes use my credit card (mainly used for on-line) and cannot remember the PIN, on my SE W910i I had a code memo area that I stored it.

I also use HTC Sync to back up stuff on the phone but not text messages, is there any S/W I can install on my PC that can store the on the PC?

Camera360 It has some fantastic effects.

Plume (Twitter client) I've tried loads of twitter apps for my Gallaxy S but always return to this one.

UK Newspapers Online Fast and free.

Unit Converter Very handy. I used it mainly for converting lbs and kilos into stone.

Apps 2 SD Free up some space on your phones internal memory.

Printershare Excellent mobile printing solution, although I didn't that much for the key!! Also try Cypria the full version's cheaper.

ShootMe (Screen grabber) Just run it then shake your phone whilst on the screen you want to capture.

Tile Takedown I'm addicted to this word (Boggle) type of game, play other addicts all over the world.

Mp3 search & Downloader Sorted!

Some good apps there but Shootme is for rooted phones only and if your rooted then Apps 2 SD is not needed

Zinio on my Xoom.
Did I really used to read magazines in paper format?

Drag Racing is a great fun and free game I started playing the other day.

Drag racing. As in Men dressed as women driving and crashing into things like women drivers usually do?

I use Sms Backup & Restore,

Option to add and XSL style sheet to the XML file, so that the file can be opened with a browser for viewing easily. Check the “Related Downloads“. Copy it in the same folder as the Backup XML file and then open the XML file in a browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox.

Only if you are rooted. Look for 'autostarts' in the market.

there also seems to be a few problems with latest version of Google street view. When u move pegman around it crashes giving an error saying process com.google.android.street stopped unexpectedly. I looked on net and seems a number of us have the same issue.
