    I just purchased a Droid Incredible for $0 at Best Buy. So far I like it. Its my first smart phone.

    It currently has Android V: 2.2 how do I upgrade? It says currently up to date?

    You are on the latest version.

    When the new version comes out (2.3 aka "Gingerbread"), you will get notification to your phone.

    There is no official upgrade to the operating system yet for the Incredible. Currently it should show Android 2.2 (aka Froyo).

    If you mod the device by "rooting" it you can load up custom ROMs if you so desire. There are at least two custom ROMS for the Incredible that use Android 2.3 (aka Gingerbread). Rooting the device also gives you a lot more control over what can be installed and removed from the device, however it will technically void your warrantee. (tho we can "unroot" and go back to factory state with a bit more work)

    If you are new to smartphones in general (and in the case of Android phones, Linux) then I wouldn't bother modding it unless you have a particular reason to. Even after rooting we cant overclock its CPU much.
    And the DInc is such a capable device straight out of the box that there isn't much room for improvement anyway unless you are a real device geek.

    You did not get this for nothing. I cant say what you did pay but are you telling me there was no contract? no minimum service plan? no you break it you have to pay $$$$ for a new one and still honor the contact? No you have to pay $$$ if you cancel early?
