Okay, so there's that Motorola Droid (http://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-videos/verizon-motorola-droid-unboxing-and-hands-on.aspx?utm_source=Rss&utm_cammpaign=PhoneDog&umt_medium=Blog) thing, sure. But what about Verizon customers wanting a little HTC Android love?
Rumors and specs are floating around regarding the HTC Droid Eris, Verizon's purportedly forthcoming version of the Hero. "Underpowered" but under a hundred bucks? Worth it or no longer noteworthy in the new age of superfast Android 2.0? Let's let our expert weigh in, shall we?
Some also wondered how I could rave about the GSM Hero, come off lukewarm from the CDMA version, and then seemingly disregard the Eris altogether. Well, first of all, I haven’t completely disregarded it.
A $99 price tag (http://discuss.gdgt.com/htc/eris/general/HTC-Eris-price-will-be-99-/) would be a good deal for such a device, and would make for some interesting competition. Perhaps I didn’t offer up enough praise for VZW’s economical alternative in that respect. So there you go.
