I just got my first ever smartphone.

The LG Lucid 2. I'm still getting used to it, but so far I really like it. And here I thought I would be the last holdout ever!

Now, what do I absolutely need? (apps, etc.)

I haven't bought the ProBoards app yet. I'm sure I will eventually, but I'm a little ambivalent right now, because it sounds like people have so many issues with it.

Instagram!

As for the Pro-Boards app:

I have it. I don't use it as much as others, so I haven't had a problem with it, really I only use it occasionally at work when I am board.

Otherwise you should get the "viggle" app - if you watch TV. You earn points for each show and then can redeem them for gift cards etc. My other favorite is Instagram and FourSquare.

I don't play a lot of games on my phone.

Okay, so I did download the Proboards app. And I even found our board! But I can't figure out how to post. (Yes, I'm signed in.)
