I finally pulled the trigger on the Incredible this past weekend, and while I understand I won't be getting my phone for some time due to supply issues, I thought it would be best to get my preliminary questions out of the way before it arrives. I think this could also be useful for all new users, especially those who have little to no experience with Android (such as myself). So, onto the bulk and basis of this thread:
In your opinion, what are the most important first steps a new HTC Incredible owner should perform when they receive their new phone. Activation is the obvious first step, but if I'm off base with that, please let me know. Include settings which you believe should be altered, applications included or excluded, aesthetic preferences which have increased your overall phone experience, etc...
As I said above, I have no experience with the Android OS (besides playing with a friends for all of two minutes and the in-store phone), so please be sure to include anything you think I might need to know when setting up my new HTC.
As a side note, the in-store Incredibles had limited accelerometer capabilities - meaning they could only switch to landscape in one direction. The Verizon rep told me this was just how the phone worked, but I was somewhat skeptical as to whether that was true or not. It's not a deal breaker by any means, but I was wondering if this is actually the case?
Thank you in advance for anyone who takes the time to respond to this thread - even if it's just a reference to another thread where I would find all of the information I seek.
