Hardcore geek question: What's your first app install on a new phone?

Whenever I get a new phone, the first thing I do is install some kind of Google Sync facility. On a BlackBerry device, I visit google.com/m and immediately download the Google Sync client, followed by the Gmail app, Google Maps and also the ‘Google’ app itself (just because it’s there).

On other platforms such as Windows Phone 7, I’ll configure my Gmail account so the contacts/calendar and mail are active. Likewise on iPhone — and obviously Android too. On a Nokia I used to *always* install ShoZu first — always (via their site) — but now I find myself generally gravitating to the Ovi Store icon and then sequentially picking key apps off my personalised list.

What about you — what are the first apps you install on a virgin device?
