i would just give it some time, get to know it. learning is a requirement. i just got the Droid X as my first smartphone and first droid ran phone. I love it.
also there is a help part in the droid x itself, click the search button then type help. That will give you a good run down.

I feel like my girlfriend broke up w/ me. I was so anxious for this phone, coming from a Droid Inc that I hated. I can't believe how much this phone sucks. Motorola should be ashamed.
the _only_ nice thing about this phone is the ability to set a timer before the pattern matching requirement kicks in when screen shuts off.
first. it's s l o w. i was able to pull my magellan out of the glove box, plug it in, and enter my destination waiting for the gps to realize it was running. my buddy's N1 finished playing the youtube vid before my X started. (yeah. we loaded same vid, starting at same time). Find nearest Starbucks? 45 seconds.
My dad may be pleased knowing where a starbucks is 45 seconds after wondering, but come on. He still drives a buick.
The screen. Soo washed out compared to D.Inc. and resolution. I know it's the same, but it looks like I am reading a large print version of a book.
Riddle me this: Why does a 3.7" D.Inc fit 20 'shortcuts' into a folder, and the 4.3 inch X only fit 16? It just looks soo clunky.
Contact 'shortcuts'? Choose between 2 (two) activities you do most often. TWO? wtf? why isn't everything possible listed below the shortcut when it is selected. Or is that only native Android. Nice improvement Moto.
and why is the shortcut double the size necessary? wtf.
dialing? no name lookup. scroll through your contact list. very intuitive.
How about widgets? Add widget: Android or Moto? how do i know? if it's not in one, check the other? what kind of bs is that?
So much more to B~tch about, but I'm starting to annoy myself. this rant has gone on long enough. bit the bar was soo low coming from my incredible - which I hated due to signal strength- that I didn't think the X could possibly disappoint. But it did. Guess I'm sending the X back and keeping the D.Inc.
and that's before thinking about custom ROMs (about a 5% chance that I may want to try something down the road). but options are a good thing. Thx again moto.

Can any of the above be 'set' somewhere?
Honestly, unless you're up against a time constraint, I would give the phone a few days to grow on you. Right now, you're missing all of the things that the Incredible did differently, but that will diminish with time, and you'll come to appreciate the superior construction of the X and to see its eccentricities as "normal". At that point, once the emotional reaction has passed, you can make the best decision for your needs, which might still call for going back to the Inc. There is nothing more personal than choosing a mobile phone.
Just put the "power control" widget on one of your home screens in the "android widget" section. Also, go into settings and look for battery profiles and change it to performance. The X was slow to me until I did that. I've had the moto droid and the incredible and now have the X. The X is the best phone to me so far. The incredible's screen was nice but the colors were too saturated for me. The yellow stars in the market for peoples rankings looked orange. The moto droid had a nice screen with just the right color for me but I wanted a larger screen. I for one like what motorola has tried to do. I like the highlights in red rather than green. I'm stoked about the auto effects choice in the stock music app. I'm especially stoked that the 8gb internal storage actually is storing apps there. you couldn't do that on the incredible. The incredibles 8gb was just for storage. I was running out of space as I like high quality games.
