Verizon Droid Phone #2 Launches Nov 6th for $99

That is a great looking phone as well, I have no personal knowledge of HTC products, but a friend of mine just got the Hero and simply loves it. That said, I just cannot take my eyes off of the Droid.

It has already been announced that the HTC Hero will be getting Andoird 2.0, so maybe the Droid Eris will get it as well.

I think this phone is a great addition to Verizon. There is the Droid that is powerful, has a qwerty, big screen, big camera, cutting edge OS, etc. Then there is the Eris that is lower in price, offers a prettier OS, and is smaller and lighter. They both have their good points and I think both should be very successful.

Not a bad choice at all. Looks very nice to me

sweet, good for those who just want the virtual keyboard. according to the verizon guy i talked to that has played with both, the speed between the two is not that noticeable, so it's really personal preference...

I can also confirm this. I have played with both devices and the processor is very similar the speed of both devices are pretty close to each other.

I want the MotoDroid. I could probably deal with the Eris as a substitute, but I would much rather have the bigger screen and qwerty kbd. The 5MP camera is a bonus. Hopefully this phone will be a keeper. Tired of CrackBerries and WinCE phones make me WinCE.

The Eris is reported to have a 5MP camera as well.

Yes I do believe it does but I head that it's alot work of a camera, which i'm sure can be fixed with patch releases.

Interesting. But the Moto comes with 2.0, while the Hero/Eris will have to wait for the OS to be ported over later. I think going bleeding-edge is for me. I've been an early adopter of tech for a long time, and tend to discard junk that doesn't work or doesn't meet my needs. So I pay a little more to have the latest, at least I can get under the hood and figure stuff out!

I think both phones will work out fine i just dont wanna switch all my contacts threw google to get to me email.. were the Eris will sync wit outlook has MT/Pinchzoom but runs the older OS and slower processor which i think is fine for a begginer like me. Once I get adjusted to how things work i can then maybe upgrade to bigger/better things down the road..

Heck i wont even upgrade to windows 7 why cause XP works fine for me and never had a problem with it.... Next system will def be an Apple iMac fo'sho.

How are you getting a 100.00 rebate and 100.00 credit?????? I only knew about the 100.00 rebate. Please tell!!

Remember the Eris is Android 1.5 not 2.0. I don't know if it's a big difference.
