Okay, I'm sure that for many of us, the Droid Incredible will be our first Android phone/device.
There have been several threads already with posters asking questions about the UI, and I figured we can ask them all in this thread to conserve space and be more organized.
Asking the questions in the Official Thread is kind of difficult because the thread moves at such a quick pace that not all questions are addressed properly, or addressed at all for that matter.
I guess, if this thread grows strong enough, I will update this first post "FAQ-style" so that people with questions about Sense UI can get answers quickly or get their own questions answered
Those with Eris', Desires etc. [phones with Sense] can help those that have questions!
Lets try to keep the thread related to questioning and answering only.
Please only answer if you use or have used the Sense UI or have sufficient knowledge to properly answer.
