What software do you have on your phone that you make a lot of use of?
Would you recommend it?

JoikuSpot is pretty handy - lets you set effectively turn your phone into a wireless router for your HSDPA connection. Supports encryption and there is a free version.

Google Maps - doesn't really need explanation :)

Oh yeah, also Shozu which I know you already use and Opera Mobile, which I have just installed and not really used yet so can't render an opinion there

poking around on the interwebs revelas several interesting ones I mean to check out later:

FEexplorer - decent file manager

Metr0 - Metro routefinder for a whole host of major cities (handy for me since I spend enough time in London to rack up a lot of tube time.

Putty might come in handy with that keyboard ;)

Cocktail - db of carious cocktails, will highlight ones makable if you provide a list of your available ingredients

Calcium - better calc app

Emtube - youtube app

Google Search client - for the active standby screen (http://www.google.com/mobile/)

Theres a bunch of stuff referenced here.

Now I realise this post violates all the terms of your query, but it got me thinking and these ones caught my eye :)

On my HTC TyTN:

* Google Maps.
* The Core Pocket Media Player - to play media with.
* Opera Mobile, for when I get annoyed with "Internet Explorer".
* LiveJournal Mobile, for posting to LJ.

CoPilot Live 6 - came as a freebie with the phone. Route finding and place finding are okay but I normally know where I'm going to anyway so I use it primarily as a HUD so I'm forewarned about the road ahead. If I were buying sat-nav I'd probably go for Tom-Tom instead.
Opera mini
