How long did you wait before pulling the battery? ROM's sometimes tale alittle while to boot up for the first time after you've flashed them. If you really can't get it to boot forget ROM Manager and flash CM7 in recovery. I have a lot fewer problems that way.

Welcome to AC, by the way.

Yep, to flash a new ROM you have to do a full wipe, but you can download Titanium Backup from the market and use it to backup all your apps, contacts and other data (but NEVER backup system data with Titanium). We actually have a great thread in the Droid Incredible forum that tells you exactly what and what not to back up with Titanium.
