Verizon HTC DROID Eris Unboxing: Part 2
One of our connects already did one for us, but there’s nothing like having a handset (and a box) in your own possession. Also what our guy reported seems to be spot on: this thing is thinner, lighter, and a lot more pocketable than Sprint’s HTC Hero. The only other change, we’re told, is that the DROID Eris has a proximity sensor on the screen. We’ll put together something more formal in a little bit, but in the meantime check out a couple photos after the jump!
It’s supposed to be Android.
This may be old news, but Walmart.com is selling the droid for $150, bought mine from Bestbuy but got them to price match. Just wanted to let everyone know there is no reason to pay over $150 for your new droid.
Buying through a third party has drawbacks. I’m on a VZW employee account anyway so I have to buy it online.
When I purchased my Droid from Best Buy, they rang it up as $149 and it says price match. I just said thanks and didn’t ask any questions. I guess that’s why they did this.
I did a side by side with my buddies Hero from SPRINT and the GUI is snappier on the Eric. Everything from scrolling to typing – just more responsive.
Eris I mean
Possibly because he has a bunch of apps on it already, while yours is brand new?
Where do you buy the cradle for this one?
Sorry to break it to a few of you, but Verizon is selling with new/upgrade 2-yr contract at $99…
Good review and comparison to the Moto Droid here:

The Eris is only $99.99, after MIR, at a Verizon store.
Nice phone, I like HTC along with Motorola. Both build great smart phones that last. But, no pull out keyboard.
some people like onscreen, but with bigger hands, onscreen causes more mistakes.
so its google labeled but still gets the sense ui? I AM PISSSSSSED
