I've reviewed the Droid Eris twice before, when it was called the Hero. The difference is that Verizon's selling it for half the price, making it the cheapest Android phone you can buy—and the best, for the money. Eris is Verizon's other Droid phone. It really is a remodeled Hero,...

In our brief play, the Droid Eris was quick and nimble, most likely benefiting from the HTC Hero update recently rolled out to the Sprint variant. It's fast enough that you won't find yourself struggling with whether you've pressed the button or flipped a screen, and as flipping...

I purchased the HTC Eris at the first of January based on the reputations of the Android OS and HTC. I was not disappointed in the least. The Eris Sense is very intuitive in helping walk you through how to set up and use this phone. Even though I changed to Droid by Motorola at the beginning of...

As you can see from my review i really don't like this phone at all. I have it and have had to go back to Verizon 3 times to have them replace it. There are HUGE lag problems. You push a button and it can take easily 5 seconds to respond to your command. It is SLOW SLOW SLOW. I would NEVER...

This phone is much better than the Droid because it doesn't have a real keyboard. This may seem like a downside, but the Droid's real keyboard is horrible and most people I talk to say that the touch keyboard is better. I have an iPod touch and so I know what a good keyboard is, and...

<rant> When I got mine, they had a deal going and I got two for $80 - that's the only reason I'm quasi-satisfied with the Eris. Was my first Android phone, and I loved it, but most of the apps I want to use are either too slow to load or just slow in general, that it defeats the...
