HTC: 'most phones' launched in 2010 will get Android 2.2 -- Engadget

I didn't see Eris on the list. There's a link about 2.1 but nothing on 2.2 for Eris.

Well you gotta multi task these days. Anyway I still haven't seen Eris mentioned.

Well, who saw this coming? Froyo -- yes, the one and only Android 2.2 that got released via SDK today -- has already begun its grand voyage into hacky, totally unofficial device ROMs that are available to unhealthily brave users. The two we've got for your perusal here are for the Nexus One (of course) and Verizon's Droid Eris, of all things; our understanding is that both of them are ridiculously unstable and unpractical for actual use at this point, but it's patently obvious that these guys aren't going to sleep until there are some solid firmware binaries on the interwebs. Mountain Dew Code Red and bottles of No-Doz, fellas.

Hell I can tell you from experience that the 2.1 OTA on the Eris is WAY slower than a rooted Eris running a 2.1 custom. With that being said a rooted Eris running 2.2 custom ROM will probably be phenomenal as will pretty much ANY device running 2.2. From what I have seen though the older phones or less powerful phones do WAY better when rooted and running a custom ROM than any of the official ROMs. Same can kinda be said of the higher end devices but the performance difference is not as great as it is on the lower end ones.
