I tried to get the 900 min. plan for $59.99, but it only gave me 450 min. …..what’s up w/ that?

OMG a free Android! Well, it is too good to be true. There must be something… Here it is! After googling HTC Droid Eris, I’ve found the problem. It shares the antenna failure with iPhone 4 and BlackBerry Bold. So, take it or leave it, folks!

This phone does require a data plan with verizon and its $30 a month UNLIMITED.

The apps are found on the android marketplace and most are free with no download charges.

Besides having Wi-Fi and a touchscreen, it comes with a 8gb chip –so that really makes the price a bargain.

Ive got TV and radio apps and they are all free.

@ iJah420. Those plans you listed are for non-smart phones. These phones requires the $29.99 unlimited data plan.

You people are so ignorant. This has no mobile web or data plan.

You NEED to subscribe to a data plan a MEASLY 25 or 75 mb plan.

Verizon is going to sign up as many ignoramuses up as they can and CHARGE THE SNOT out of you for exceeding your data plan AND when you EXCEED that usgae you will be BILLED !!!!!!!! A $1.99 PER MB!!!!!! GOOD LUCK WITH THAT .

Some people you just can’t reach!!

Mobile Web – Pay Per Use ($1.99/MB)

Mobile Web is included in all Nationwide Calling Plans. Megabyte charges apply to Basic and Select Plans. Unless you subscribe to the 25 MB or 75 MB Data Package feature, or Select or Premium Calling Plans, megabytes sent or received using Mobile Web (including advertising) will be aggregated each month, rounded up to the next megabyte, and billed at $1.99/MB. Application charges apply in addition to charges for data sent/received. Important: On select smartphone devices, if you do not subscribe to a Data Plan or Data Feature, data usage will be billed at 1.5¢ per KB ($15.36 per MB), unless you add a data block or subscribe to a Wireless Email Feature. Other smartphone devices and all BlackBerry® devices require a Data Plan or a Data Feature.

WHAT A CROCK!!!!!!

You can have a 1 year contract on a Moto Droid and still have a reasonable price on the Droid. It’s what I did.

1 year contract, $260 for the phone, same monthly fees. Bought it at Best Buy, but they don’t advertise it. The plan is listed on Verizon’s site, and pretty much any electronics boutique store will honor it if you request it, they just have to find the prices off the site.

Hm… free. Not really, is it? The contract is still expensive. I paid 200 € for a brand new unlocked Magic, and separately pay 8,50 € for unlimited data per month, 3 month contract. You can get any phone free on contract in Germany, if the contract is very, very expensive. You can get an iPhone 3GS 32GB for 1 € here. Or have to pay for some cheap dumbphone. All depends on the contract. Though I suppose contracts aren’t this variable in the US (which doesn’t really make sense to me).

You know this and the dell site offering the moto droid for $119. Verizon had better wake up and start making better offers in the stores!

I am also on the fence. Want a moto Droid. But the Eris could do the job… especially with the android update comming soon.

@prof: Wow, yeah, that sucks. I would look into it.

I just ordered a Droid and Eris last night doing the BOGO. Kinda weird that Eris has been reduced to a free phone now… I’ve seen nothing but positive things said about it. Not sure whether to be happy that it’s free or wary about what it says for the future.

what the heck? I just signed up last night for the BOGOF offer, 2 eris phones for $99, and now this morning it is for free? I wonder if i can cancel without a penalty and get in on this. anybody know?

What is this site? Advertising space for Verizon? Add a new line get a free droid? WTF?

Ditto on post #1. I’m ready for a new phone. I’m willing to wait a month or so but not the April date of the HTC Bravo as mentioned in the above lineup.

A one year contract would get me into an Android device for the time being without being locked into past technology.

So how about it? Any one year deals on the Droid or Eris?
