I wanted to start an impression/user review thread here because I find a lot of people either don't know how to describe a problem, or don't want to sound like a 'noobie' by asking, so I thought a review thread would help see how others are using their Incredible and maybe say 'Gee...I didn't even know I could do that' or 'Wow...I had this all wrong' and we can help each other out as well as give interested parties non-professional, real-time user reviews/impressions. So here goes mine, and please feel free to leave yours as well:

OK...first couple days with my Incredible (and Android in general) and here are initial thoughts:

My main concern about this device would be the back cover. It seems to pop on + off rather easily and I would be concerned about it popping off at the wrong time and getting lost or bent (being made of what feels like a thin metal I haven't tested the strength of it yet). and since this is a pretty minor thing and most likely easily remedied by using a case I think the Incredibe (from hereon to be referred to as the Inc) is a winner!!!!

Alarm clock works well, the system is fast and I really like the feel of the Inc in the physical sense as well as in the 'Sense' sense (sorry, couldn't resist a bit of a pun there).

Coming from WM there are a few things that are tricky to get the hang of. One of them is the fact that during setup of the Inc your offered the option to synce Googlemail, Twitter, Facebook + Flickr which is great, but I made the mistake of not realizing that in doing so I have all my Facebook friends listed in my phone contact listing (99% are gaming friends that I would never have reason to call)....opps!!!! The thing that saved me there is that in the People icon there only seems to be my Googlemail contacts I converted from Outlook.

Another little frustration is that my lock screen won't change. I created a new theme for Sense with my wallpaper collection, and the lock is still the stock image. I even tried a 3rd party app that changes the lock to different styles and that will work for a time or two then it is back to stock!! It is a nagging little glitch, but I'll keep at it. I really miss all my weather, notifications and custimization allowed on the lock screen as well, I know the last text is shown for a bit, but I can't tell how many of multiple alerts there are (missed calls, texts, email...) (long-time S2U2 user....what can I say, I'm spoiled) but again, I'll work on it. I would like to disable the buttons while locked, but that isn't too much an issue either.

The apps are easily organized into folders for faster retrieval than just scrolling through the entire list, and I really like the variety of widgets that are stock (with the ability to get more later).

The processor on the Inc is super fast, I flip through screens and menus at a fast clip and I haven't had any issues of lag due to a lot of running apps. The camera works really well, fast to open and the touch to focus works like a dream.

Wifi is great!! I had my Inc almost all set-up with apps and updates before I even activated my phone/data plan on it (as a wifi test) and I never had an issue...fast and consistant connection!!

I am sure I will have more to add as I use it more (especially at work), but as I mentioned earlier....only a couple days of impression there!!!!
