I've actually had the exact opposite experience, it's super snappy now and the battery seems to last a full 40-50% longer. I've noticed in some forums that people seem to be having either your experience or mine. Strange that would happen on a fixed target, unless there's some differences in the guts of different revs of the Incredibles.

Maybe VZW is split testing the rollout with different bundles and settings. My wife has had the same issues as me with her Incredible after the update. Maybe our charger is hosed and we only noticed a difference when looking for changes between versions.

I've heard from a few people that right after the update they had a bad day or two and then something sorted itself out in the phone.

I'd recommend getting rid of any task management software/killers as well.
