Verizon Wireless continues to follow up with customers via E-Mail to ensure Motorola Droid and HTC Droid Eris owners are getting their all out of the device. They have already sent several E-Mails with application recommendations and they’ve just sent their latest – Droid Does Sports.
BASKING RIDGE, NJ —Game-winning plays don’t just happen on [...]

Verizon looks poised to go on an Android tear – they’ve already got the Droid and Droid Eris with the Devour on the way, and a little birdie is claiming that 2 LG Android Phones will launch on Big Red before April!
Take this as rumor of supreme form (salt!), but it wouldn’t be the [...]

The good folks at HTC have been pretty consistent about getting the Kernel Source Code and Binaries of their Android Phones out there into the public realm. While most Android users have no need/use for them, this equips the Android hackers and modders with the stuff they need to create customized builds and goodies [...]

About 10 minutes ago my friend posted an explicative riddled Facebook status about spilling a glass of water on his BlackBerry. About 9 minutes ago I got a “Tip This” submission from AndroidForums about a solution for those who spill water on their phone – or even drop it fully submerged into a sink [...]

If you’ve got the HTC Droid Eris on Verizon Wireless or the HTC Hero on 3 in the UK we want to quickly remind you that firmware updates have recently become available and you’ll want to hop on that if you haven’t already. Or maybe not: they’re pretty minor.
The HTC Droid Eris update doesn’t [...]

Time Magazine just published a whole lot of different “Top 10″ lists in a Top 10 of Everything 2009. One of the categories was – you guessed it – gadgets. And I was a bit suprised to find that not one but TWO Android devices were in the Top 2 positions.

Can you guess which [...]

HTC has just put four free widgets on Market. These are for Hero and Eris only – naturally Sense UI equipped devices.  I guess this answers our question from yesterday!

Dice: Tap the dice first, and then simply shake (do not throw!) your phone to “throw” the dice. This widget is only for HTC [...]

The folks over at BGR have learned of round 2 of the Verizon buy one get one offer for the Droids.  Same thing as last time – buy either Droid and get the Eris for free. Wasn’t too bad of a deal then, still ain’t too bad now.

As usual, this requires a new 2 [...]

Greg Kumparak over at MobileCrunch has put together a quick video showing Swype in action on the HTC Eris.  Swype, for those unfamiliar, lets you spell out words you want to type by using one simple fluid movement – swiping from letter to letter. When you’re done with a word, let up and move [...]

According to Verizon and BGR, random HTC ERIS users should have received an update right around midnight last night (or is that this morning?).
The new ROM version is 1.16.605.1 and the radio version is 2.32.40.11.09. Like all OTA updates it will be distributed to some first and then the majority.

So be patient and wait [...]

Only 3 days after the Motorola Droid went on sale we broke the news that it would likely get an OTA update on December 11th. It looks like good fortune may come a tad early as BGR suggest the OTA update will start today and roll-out to all Droid owners over the next 48 [...]

I have a feeling there are about to be a LOT of new Android owners in coming months. In years past, if you wanted a smartphone you would need to be willing to shell out a handsome amount of money. That has changed drastically in the past 12 months and the latest development is [...]

“Let me just preface this post with a total rumor disclaimer, to be read only with serious grains of salt.
That being said, information has been passed along to me in a very James Bond type way from a trusty ninja who has yet to lead me astray. The information contains detail regarding the so [...]

BGR is reporting the Eris is set to get an OS upgrade in Q1 of 2010. Unsure of many details however. They say, and I quote:
“We’ve received word that the HTC DROID Eris on Verizon Wireless will definitely be getting an OS upgrade sometime in Q1. We haven’t been told exactly what OS version [...]

So this has been bugging me since the release of the Droid(s).  Am I the only one irked by Verizon’s $29.99 per device unlimited data plan?
(It’s okay if I am – you can post a comment telling me I’m being a baby, that’s fine.. my feelings won’t be hurt I promise.)

My lonely Droid wants [...]

Remember that little post I made yesterday around noon.. you know, the little buy one get one deal on the Androids?  Well since that posting I’ve been in contact with the store a few times looking for something more solid than just their words as confirmation.
To hold me over they updated their Facebook page [...]

I just now got a call from my local Verizon branch.  They were letting me know that Verizon (Corporate) Stores are offering a buy-one-get-one deal for Android phones Friday through Monday! The deal will also be available online.
Before you ask – YES, if you already bought one, guess what – you qualify (within’ 30 [...]

If you’re trying to decide between getting the HTC Droid Eris on Verizon or the Samsung Behold 2 on T-Mobile, this is probably a video you’ll want to watch. Three CNET authors/editors rate the phones head to head and their average scores are taken to determine the Android champion (in the light-weight division):

If you [...]

Well this is kind of cool – Best Buy has issued a Press Release to tell the world that they’ll have amazing prices on Android Phones throughout the holiday season. There are a LOT of product categories out there and to see Android specifically getting categorically loved by a retailer is a great thing. [...]

How quickly the HTC Hero went from hottest luxury smartphone to budget bin Android – fortunate for us that only applies to the price as the phone is still one of the best on the market. The Hero was slightly redesigned and repackaged as the HTC Droid Eris for Verizon Wireless and started selling [...]
