Go to either the Motorola or Verizon web site and download their User's Manual. This will give you a basic grasp of what and where things are. Spend a day or two just poking around the phone with the UM before you start in with the Tips and Tricks and Market Apps. Once you are comfortable with the basics then go into the other areas and expand your knowledge.

Here is the link to the Motorola site:
DROID by Motorola Support - Motorola USA
I just checked and it includes the Verizon site.
