HTC Droid Eris Powered By Google Android OS
The HTC Droid Eris offers a slim design, plentiful features, and satisfying performance. It also has pinch and zoom multitouch.
The HTC Droid Eris has mixed multimedia quality. It comes only with the Android 1.5 OS, there’s no file manager, and internal performance was occasionally sluggish.
Though its performance wasn’t completely top-notch and we would prefer a more recent Android OS version, the HTC Droid Eris is a satisfying Android device that offers a nice contrast to the Motorola Droid. And you can’t beat the price.
HTC Droid Eris comes at a cost of $99.00

That is a beautiful phone! I've got a Moto Droid that I love, but this one is better looking. I love Android OS too!

The trouble with phones is same as computers a few years ago…
…as soon as you get what seems to be the best…
they introduce something so much better, you wish you hadn't bought the other…

While I really like a physical keyboard, after dealing with the Samsung Captivate for roughly 15 minutes, it is exhausting to move back. Right now I’m debating whether to go to Verizon for the Droid X, move to Dash for the EVO, or stay with AT&T for the Captivate…choices, decisions.
