Seems a little redundandt unless you have 2 lines.

Honestly the Droid is OK. From a design standpoint they camera is OK, no customized UI and the kicker for me is the terrible keyboard. My only grip is that it could have had a flash but other then that i think youll be better served with the Eris.

Yeah, the droids keyboard reminds me of an htc device from 5 years ago. Im suprised, almost everyone prefers the Eris over the Droid, I guess a good design trumps better hardware.

oops i meant "the camera"! Yes sometimes good design is all you need to have a so called better device. Quemical its not even even 5 yrs more like 2 years lol.

The Eris is more my style. I like the Sense Interface than the stock 2.0 interface (and yes I know there are other interfaces you can get for Android.)

I like the design of this phone over the Droid wish this one had a keyboard the keyboard on the droid broke my heart, I know people are saying just use the onscreen one but my thing is if i'm paying for something I wanna use every damn thing on it.

My thing is I'd prefer to have a thinner profile phone if I'm not gonna use the keyboard.

The Droid is a faster Android phones! I have already played with both of them and even though I swear by HTC, I think I will have to go with the Motorola Droid instead. The Processor is a lot faster and it will run Android 2.0!

how much lag is there on the HTC phone compared to the Droid?

Ummm.... the processor is a whopping 22MGz faster... woopie! 550 to 528 is not a deal breaker for me. But honestly, the moto droid looks cool, but my fingers don't like physical keyboards... the Suretype [qw][er][ty] is waaaay easier to use for me and a lot faster for me as well, so the Eris is for me... But the reason VZW is releasing two at the same time is to satisfy a larger chunk of the market that wants android at the same time. Some prefer physical (my wife) and some prefer touch screen (me0. Either way it is a win win for everyone. But the larger, higher res screen is tempting... If only moto made a keyboard-less "DROID" that was thinner and call it the "droid" i may be swayed from my loyalty to HTC.

Aren't these processors from different architectures? It clocks 5% faster but the real-world peformance is leaps and bounds better than that, especially with a dedicated GPU. That's not to say the Eris won't be fine, but the Moto Droid isn't even close in hardware to the Eris.

Wait so the Moto has a designated GPU or the HTC. I know HTC is big on graphics processors to run TouchFLO on the WinMo Phones and Sense UI is TouchFLO for droid. So are you saying the Moto Droid is better hardware or the Eris? Please respond someone who knows b/c I am interested.

I'm probably just going with the Eris as it's a more compact, sleek form that meets my needs. The fact that it's getting updated to 2.0 is a deal setter. I'd be inclined to wait for the HTC Passion but I seriously question whether it's something Verizon is even gonna get. Oh well.

HTC PPc6800..Sprint Mogul I think is what Mike G77 is thinking of..This phone looks too much like an HTC Hero..minus the chin

LOL jrcrow79 i would agree with you on the 6800. I had 1 in 2008 before i got an Omnia and i could'nt stand the keyboard. At least it wasnt as cramped and didnt have that stupid directional pad.

Both Droid and Droid Eris may match the iPhone on hardware but no match on Apple Apps 100,000+ and iTune sync.
