[...] that rumor that the HTC Droid Eris would be getting its honorable discharge from “Big Red” in the beginning of April? Yea, that didn’t actually happen, but [...]

I had some issues with my Eris and took to VZW store… they were going to replace it, but they had no inventory there or any other local store and did not know when more inventory would be coming in… that was last Friday, 1/2. I’m thinking maybe Eris will be replaced with Incredible.

The Droid Eris makes more sense than the Moto Devour. Seriously, the Eris gives Verizon a chance to offer a cheaper Android cell phone to people who wouldn’t have bought a more expensive Droid. My sister is a case in point; she bought an Eris because she didn’t want to drop money on the Droid. But she did end up paying for the data plan which will cost more over the long run. So why would they cut ti off? Oh well…I guess Verizon knows how their sales are going and what is the most popular. I’d rather see them stop selling the 1st gen Blackberry Storm since that thing is just silly compared to the new lineup.

A verizon rep yesterday told me within 2 weeks a new android phone will be there. I went in asking about the nexus one and she dropped that. Could it be the incredible? My guess is so. That would say before April, Verizon has it.

“Huh? Isnt the samsung 810 thats listed on the inventory a GSM phone?How do they figure this is even a verizon inventory listing?”

….could be that the Samsung u810 is a verizon phone.

All it is, is a rumor. Do not get your nickers in a twist.

It’s not the picture that was in question. It’s the suggestion that the Droid Eris will be soon phased out. Maybe you should read the article correctly before posting next time.

So let me get this straight, you guys had no problem publishing this picture two weeks ago (http://phandroid.com/2010/02/25/htc-incredible-now-in-verizons-inventory-system/) from the same site and talking about how it is not a surprise to see it showing up in inventory. But now that you have a slightly different opinion the picture is classified as “supposed” and the site has “little proven track record?” I’ve never even heard of the site other than when you or other Android sites linked to it, but you are just making yourselves look dumb here. You can have a different view/opinion without slamming other sites that are trying to put out info.

Ha look at these guys from Berry Scoop coming over here and whining. Taking away the Eris would leave a void for a hardware-less keyboard phone that’s priced well. If people like the form factor of the Droid but don’t want to drop the dough on it they can get the Devour. If people like the idea of the Incredible but don’t wanna spend the cash they could get the Eris.

P.S. Stop crying Berry Scoop guys. He posted an article on his site about his opinion. You came here and bashed him for his opinion. My opinion is you guys are wrong.

Eris offers a wonderful price point for an up scale advanced device. I would imagine that the Incredible would be priced some where around $200 (after rebate) such as the Droid currently is. Taking the Eris out of the picture would create a huge void for those customers who are looking for that value.

I can definitely see room for both devices at the retail level for Verizon.

@Rob
We have been posting news for a lot of tech stuff, including Android for awhile now. Our “supposed” picture of the Verizon inventory system wasn’t the first thing we posted covering Android. Don’t let the name fool you.

okay so im reading these comments and all I really see is blah blah blah. Do any of you actually no what HTC is doing? Im pretty sure the answer to that questions is a BIG No. Do not discredit something when you have no idea what you are talking about. First of all do not compare specs of HTC and MOTO device its all relative. Also Moto has only released one Device that has somewhat decent specs and that would be the Droid and the Droid is jut a so so device in my eyes. I know for a fact that 2.1 is in development for the Eris and Hero considering I run 2.1 on every Android Device I own, oh and 3.0 on a few others but thats for a different rant. Just because something hits end of life on a carrier does not mean that it will just up and “vanish” it just really means that vzw will not longer order this device which makes sense. The HTC Incredible will be launching around April 1st. So to wrap this up dont discredit Berryscoop with your nonsensical BS. Their info is correct and wherever your “sources” are, they are wrong and most likely just pull it out of their heads like 95% of the blogging world. Enough Said. Good Job BerryScoop.

@John & @Jason

Touchy touchy. In no way was I “giving you the finger”. I was questioning the accuracy of your sources based on my immediate impressions/opinions on the situation. I’ve updated the article to reflect the valid points you made. Was also a bit thrown off by seeing Android news on a BlackBerry site.

Take it for what you will. But BerryScoop, while a young site..is reporting the information as they see it. Their track record, while short..has been full of win when people have doubted things posted.
