I've said it before, I'll say it again, this forum rocks.
I've had my Incredible since mid-July, and life was good: nice, new phone, Android OS, it kicked butt over anything I've ever had. Then I learned about battery issues, app killers, and awaited this thing called Froyo. Froyo was rumored, talked about, and delayed. It finally came and it didn't impress me. In fact, it made my phone sluggish and not itself anymore.
Then I learned about factory resets and AppBrain and how to back up things. Though I think it's unacceptable for a high-end, expensive piece of equipment to get a very hyped upgrade only to ask it's users to do hard factory resets, spend many hours reloading apps and configuring their contacts and other very hands-on things that really should have been a seamless and enjoyable transition to new and exciting goodies, I muddled through it and learned a lot.
Thanks to everyone on this forum who experiment, trial-and-error, and otherwise guinea-pig their phones so I can get my phone just how, no, need, it, I now have a fast phone, with adequate battery life and cool apps like a frickin' bubble level to play with.
