Browser

The stock Android 4.0 browser is decent. As far as rendering web pages goes over Verizon's network, it does just fine. I was really quite impressed with how the browser operates and how good web sites look on the display. Do yourself a favor, though, and download the new 1.0 version of Chrome for Android. It is a fantastic browser that's available to Android 4.0 devices, and it's worth skipping the stock browser for. It's faster, cleaner, and more intuitive to use and has much better controls for managing open tabs. Don't ask, just do it.

Customize

HTC's Sense 4.0 lets you fine-tune nearly every facet of the Incredible's behavior and appearance. In fact, it probably offers too many options; it has a bit of a learning curve.

The modifications that matter most to most people, such as scenes, skins, wallpapers, and ringtones, are a web of interlaced and related settings that take some time to learn to use properly. The most useful tool of the entire UI is that which lets you customize the lock screen shortcuts.
