Supposed to receive my Eris Monday. Getting rid of 2 G1s and a couple of other T-Mo phones and switching over to big red for the 3G (and coming 4G). I just hope they do a firmware upgrade soon. If Hero is getting 2.0, then so should Eris…

Have one of each reserved for Friday morning. Have held both. Moto is heavier. Looking forward to seeing which is more useful/friendly.

I LOVE htc phones (owned the Imagio but returned it only because of the awful Windows OS). My only concern is that the expect r release of the Eris does not have Android 2.0, but 1.5. Will one be able to upgrade to 2.0?? I possess a real dilemma. Droid or Eris???

My local in-store rep was quite happy to tell me that both the Droid and Eris were already in the back room of the store. He also claimed that they are referred to as the ‘Motorola Droid’ and the ‘HTC Droid’. I hope he was mistaken.

The Moto Droid:awsome Android 2.0 and a real keyboard/ the Droid Eris: the same specs as the Hero with the strength of the VZW Network. There is a Droid for everyone.

I will be getting the Eris, myself. I love the look it has and the price! I don’t mind that it’s a mid-tier Android because I can get my feet wet with it. Besides, Hero is getting 2.0 so Eris can’t be far behind.

That’s pretty weird about the proximity sensor I like the Hero but Sprint can you please get the Droid!!!

I noticed the Verizon version has the proximity sensor, where the Sprint hero does not.

Should be a great phone, I think it may be more popular then the Droid because of the Sense interface and the lack of a hardware keyboard. This is a really good idea for most of the public and even many of us hardcore phandroids, I’m liking the intro price of this compared to the droid as well.

I think it’s possible they’d release them the same day so that when the stores run out of Droids, the rest of the people in line (who really just want something new and are willing to settle) will buy the Eris instead. Better to make a sale!
