I've very recently got an Android (2.1) smartphone. What are useful/cool Android features?

I voted this question to close, this question is too broad and it's not clear what's being asked. @Rabarberski: you can browse old questions to browse for tricks that might be useful/cool. – Lie Ryan Apr 14 '11 at 8:20

That said, a community wiki piece listing all these in one place might not be a bad idea... – syntheticbrain Apr 14 '11 at 8:24

@Lie: yes I was hesitating posting this question for the same reason you mention (too broad). However, I would find such a question (the answers actually) useful, so that's why I eventually did. Besides, other stackexchange sites have such questions as well, and seem to be quite popular. Turning it into a wiki is perfectly fine for me, but I don't think I have enough privileges to do so – Rabarberski Apr 14 '11 at 10:54

I have voted to close as well, it's additionally too subjective. Usefulness alone does not a community wiki make. – Matthew Read♦ Apr 14 '11 at 11:40

Well, these related posts sure show (by view count, vote count) that there is some interest for these kind of questions: superuser.com/questions/7622/windows-7-tips-and-tricks and apple.stackexchange.com/questions/400/…. I've reworded my question to make it more clear I am looking for cool things to do with android. – Rabarberski Apr 14 '11 at 13:18

This article lists 50 tips and tricks for users who are new to Android 2.1. There's a lot to digest there, but I think it's a pretty comprehensive list of the neat stuff in Eclair.
