The Google integration is very useful as a google user. Well, I don't really use gmail but I have an account and did a sync with that. Very easy to update contacts etc.
Nav feature is nice. Actually use it in the car. Now I want Aux Input for the head unit so I can play tunes off the Droid. We didn't have a GPS system at all so it's nice to have one.
Flashlight app is useful. Stopwatch app for things like bike races and timing sit ups.
Other apps you should pull down because you'll likely at least try them out at some point:
-Google Sky Map (augmented reality view of the sky -- stars/planets/clusters/galaxies/nebulae/etc)
-JustPictures! (synchronizes your many local and online photo albums into one viewer. Phtobucket, Smugmug, etc.)
-My Tracks (gps tracking for rides -- exportable)
-RealCalc (nice free scientific calculator)
If you didn't have the X, I'd suggest Easy Tether and Swype, but you already have MiFi and Swype on the X.
On the other hand, Easy Tether is free for http and $10 for https connections, and I believe Verizon will make you pay more for the MiFi on the X. With Easy Tether, you get around the monthly fees, but can only connect one notebook.
