No Froyo for Droid Eris says Verizon

This article contains unofficial information.
Verizon spokeswoman Brenda Raney confirmed that Android 2.1 is as far as the Droid Eris goes. "We have other options in Android devices, so this is part of the normal evolution of our portfolio," Raney said in an e-mail. The carrier launched the phone along with the Motorola DROID last November. The launch of both phones-the DROID in particular-started the Androidmania that has brought strong momentum to Google's open source OS. DROID owners recently received the Android 2.2 upgrade which allows users of the phone to see Flash video and animation.

Really sad because Froyo made my rooted Eris really fast and usable. Don't worry about VZW and HTC, just root and enjoy Froyo.

Exactly... it's not that the Eris cant handle Froyo; it's that VZW won't make as much money if you don't go out and buy a phone. Enjoying it on my rooted Eris as well. Thanks to NAND back up/restore I'm enjoying a few different ROM's whenever the mood strikes me. FFS root your Android phones already! It's like buying a base model Mustang when you can get the SVT model at no extra charge.

It's really, really sad that they won't update the Eris, as it's a great little handset. I still order and sell this phone to customers because I haven't had a single defective return. Not. One.
