alright, so i had to get a new sd card since mine decided to fry itself. i lost everything on it, including a few apps that i use often. is there a way to recover those apps with my google account back to my phone? i have searched it and can't seem to come across anything, but the rep i talked to at the store said i could, but i didn't have time for him to show me. any help would be greatly appreciated!

Go to the following link

 

https://market.android.com/apps

 

login with your google account (the one that is on your phone) and after you login, there will be a link called "My Market Account" in the top right hand corner of the page.

 

then you will see everything that you downloaded to your phone. Just look for the apps that you want to install, and click on them, then follow the prompts.

 

it shows you everything, free, paid, even the ones that you downloaded and uninstalled.

Nothing to it...

It's just a matter of going to the app market and re-downloading the apps. Your paid apps show up in "my apps" (or "downloaded apps", something like that). Unfortunately, Google doesn't keep up with the free apps you download.

I use APP BRAIN - it maintains & manages ALL apps I've ever installed. There are probably others as well.
