Description:

The HTC DROID ERIS became popular as the second Android phone for Verizon Wireless, although it got launched at the same time. Straight out of the box, it is equipped with version 1.5 of the operating system, but also has the social-centric Sense UI on top. It sports all the hardware features one would expect, including a 3.2-inch screen, 528MHz processor and 288 MB RAM.

This is my first smart phone.  I am very pleased.

The graphics and applications are so cool. You can pretty much personalize everthing. Battery life is poor but for now I just have to change my charging habits.
 
I strongly suggest bookmarking the manual on verizon site. There is so much to learn about the phone that the 250+page online manual will help. Verizon tech support has been very helpful as well. The phone was new to them so we were kinda troubleshooting together.  I have had the phone a couple weeks and am still learning new things it does.
.
You really need to practice using the touch pad as it is so easy to accidently call some one or switch screens when you finger accidently touches a spot.

Call clarity and sound volume is great. Much louder than my previous Samsungs, LG's etc.

Internet connections are really fast. I get an email notice on my phone before I receive a notice on my computer.

I have no problem with the camera. I takes good pics for a phone  in my opinion.

All in all I have had no serious issues with the phone. It does have the 1.5 but I keep reading there are going to be upgrades coming up. Rumor has it the first one is mid Dec.

I have had this phone for about 3 days and as of right now I love this phone. This is my first smartphone and its so easy to navigate and figure out. The camera quality is awesome although there is no flash option but the quality of the picture is almost better than an ordinary digital camera.  There are so many different choices of applications. Tons of fun games and helful fun apps. There are thousands of free apps. The 7 home screens make things really easy to find  fast and you know there is always space. I was a little worried about the rolling ball but that is a neat part of the phone. The phone has a sleep  mode so if you recieve email or text messages the ball lights up instead of the screen on the phone lighting up. This phone is really hard to unlock from a purse or pocket , my old phone was a touch phone and it would unlock in my purse and make phonecalls. I don't even use my computer much anymore because this phone can do pretty much everything my computer can do.  Compared to the i phone this is a lot easier to learn and you can even send picture messages unlike the i phone. I am so happy verizon came out with this phone. I cant wait til 2.0 comes out.





Easy access to everything... email,facebook,texts,browser etc
7 home screens
sleep mode
Camera
All the different apps
Everything about this phone
Battery life (thats expected)

Been waiting 2 years for Big Red to deliver a premium device. Ported out for 17 days to an iphone, only to discover that Gayt&T is beyond horrible. My wait was worth it. As a "casual" user of apps (Music, news, games), I LOVE this phone. ONLY thing missing is a desktop store for Android and amazon mp3 store for my PC (ala itunes). If Android can get those running, the Jesus Phone will finally have SERIOUS competition, as that interface is the only leg up as far as user-friendliness is concerned.

For the device itself, I love the 7 screens. The camera is MUCH better than the reviews say it is. The video quality is spotty on You Tube, etc. But I'm VERY confident that this device will have Android 2.0 and Flash early next year. For a $100 price point, this phone is the cell phone equivalent of robbing a bank. It's THAT awesome.





Sense UI
Trackball is kinda neat
PANDORA (Bomb)
Intuitive Screens
Great call Quality on the best network
Capacitive buttons on front do take a while to find "sweet spot" on
Battery HOG (What isn't these days though, honestly?)
No PC store for Android Market or Amazon mp3 store
