Motorola DROID and HTC DROID ERIS now for sale

advertisment:
Well kiddies, the wait is finally over as Verizon Wireless has officially released its first two Android-powered devices, the Motorola DROID and HTC DROID ERIS. We first saw the Motorola DROID in New York last week and were impressed by its features and overall quality, as we pointed it out in our Full Review. Then yesterday we got a hands-on look at the HTC DROID ERIS, which was also impressive, thanks to the Sense UI interface. Now both of them can be yours.

It'll let you buy it new but when you click to upgrade then it throws you back to select a phone and the Droid is gone, WTF?!

I love how many Bakersfield ACN reps get thier upgrades in my store as they don't want to wait for the mail.
Does it take forever or something? They give up valuable points cause they are just as impatient as the rest of the world!
:D

Yup, I tried all that. I went to the store and they already had one available to play with. And after messing with it, I just have to have it. VZW needs to get their act together cause it wants to come hometo me already!!

Ok, i'm getting tired of trying back and forth and no luck upgrading to The Droid. Maybe I should just settle for the subpar Chocolate Touch.

HEY EVERYONE....I THINK I GOT IT TO WORK......FROM FIREFOX, GO TO GOOGLE.COM AND TYPE IN "VERIZON WIRELESS". SELECT THE ESHOP.VERIZONWIRELESS SITE. IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S LETTING ME GO THROUGH WITH THE ORDER BUT NOT GIVING ME AN INSTANT REBATE. I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED.

This is why I suggested Fire Fox to you because it simply worked for me.
Why do you put me down for trying to help ?
I even suggested "WireFly.com" Trying to be helpful.
