  • Not to be mean or anything but your retarded I know its an old video but for future videos check that all phones are connected to same wifi the iphone was on wifi while the droids were in 3G.

  • as a former owner of an eris that upgraded to a thunderbolt, i can tell you that eris is total garbage

  • tell me update both phones right now and tell me which one is better ahha! good luck eris your a slow piece of shit with outdated android while Motorola droid has Flash player froyo live wallpapers Netflix and way better processor even tho is underclocked rapes the eris

  • SENSE FTW!

  • Comment removed

  • i have the droid eris and its a peice of shit. worst battery life. Laggy and unresponsive. it doesnt delete text messages. takes forever to call someone. i would throw it agianst a wall but then id be phoneless...then agian having no phone is better than having this peice of shit.

  • Eris is beast! Im getting one soon!

  • @froledo im getting mine in a few weeks

  • Ive had both phones. There both GREAT phones. each have there pros and cons it just matters how you care for them and what you do with them.

  • Droid!!

  • htc eris droid when i tryed it at the store it was hella fast easy to text on because i never used a touch screen that phone was great i love the look of the phone and i never liked the droids keybord

  • the droid eris is really not as slow as it is on this video my eris is fast as shit

  • you hit the droid one first.. no shit its going to load the web page faster.. serious,. idiot american . youre making us look bad

  • can i like not get unlimited texting and switch it with internet plan and then download a texting app? o i wont have to pay for both?

  • u forgot to mention the pinch and pinch out for the eris and also the virtual keyboard

  • Btw my ERIS (not ear! Ftw) is the shit and its the best object I ever bought I'm on it now Who sir? Who??

  • If you call it EARis one more time I'm gonna come to your house, stab you in the knees, shoot you in the face, tie you to a chair and inject every std and vd known to man directly into your bloodstream. Fucking moron, go back to school.

  • Eris has flash, so no shit its gonna be a little bit slower than the droid with no flash!

  • ok this guy is a dick!!!

    the Eris is way better in every way!!!

    the Eris it is ARIS NOT ERIS!!!

    You should UPDATE your eris!!!

  • really bad scrolling sorry for the droid an eris man! Really bad review for each...Cheaper mobiles do better!

  • you didnt show that the htc eris supports multitouch while the moto does not

  • dont dat earis1...da fonez name is ERIS!...DUHH

  • no you can you are not fare

  • you say eris like earis

  • how are u comparing eris to other better and expensive phones. of course the eris is going to lose cause its cheaper for a reason.

  • eris is more better

  • is internet free on the eris???

  • you need to learn how to properly compare and review phones jackass.

    1.) The White seems to come out much more better than the Eris than the droid. WTF are you color blind?

    2.) Some how you went to comparing the droid Eris and the moto droid, to the iphone and moto droid WTF the title says "droid V ERIS v iphone browser match.

    Dont take out the Eris.

    3.) You never did show the Eris in landscape but you show every other phone in landscape.

    Fuck u and your shitty reviews

  • Stop fracking comparing it with the droid, obviously we know which is going to be better. The one thats 100$ more DUMBASS.

  • you gave the motorla droid a headstart

  • u gotta remember too, he is putting down the eris yet at the time of this video it was only running 1.5 it is now running 2.1 and is alot better

  • the droid in general has a much better OS then the iphone does, who cares if its a lttle faster in web browsing.

  • Bias much??

  • is eris better then iphone?

  • @MrDarksyde6 yeah the eris is much better than the iphone, i got my eris yesterday and imo it blows the iphone away

  • @MrDarksyde6

    hell no the iphone sucks ass man Eris is so much better, I have it now, its the best phone every. And the Eris Trackball makes it easier when editing text.

  • @packstack15 your saying that the droid eris is the best phone ever?

  • @Mrbball23king

    for yes it is my friend there are even better ones. I just hate apple and there shitty products

  • I love my droid eris and don't care what others have to say

  • hey all yall people are gay get a fucking life for reals asshole

  • whudda ya know... the order in which the go buttons were pressed was the order they finished...

  • @Von7homa

    agreed

  • Also a reason why the Eris isn't as popular as the Droid, is because HTC wasn't willing to pay to advertise the Eris but motorola was.

  • the iphone is better tech but I have always gotten better reception with verizon service.

  • The guy in the vid is ruh-tarded. The browser test is void because he has the Moto in 'overview' and the Eris in 'zoomed'....it's going to take extra time to translate the picture into zoomed. If they were both set at 'overview' (in the browser menu for Eris) they would be the same speed. 3g connection is 3g connection...

  • this guys a big phoney droid eris>moto droid

  • eris has multitouch, this fool needs to zoom out using the pinch style.

  • why r all of u talking about the eris so much. dont forget about the iphone and droid which r supposedly better. Ya'll r putting those 2 down now.

  • Does the Eris have Landscape mode?

  • @Gyrotix It does indeed have landscape mode.

  • it actually loooked as if the eris had a better screen

  • this was extremely slow for both of them... my eris pulls up stuff in like 2 seconds

  • i have a question if i upgrade to a droid eris(cuz my 2 year contract ended) do i have to get internet on it. some1 told now at verizon if u get a 2 year contract and a smartphone or droid phone u need to buy internet and i dont want it cuz droid eris has wifi

  • @jtrapmusic With ALL Verizon 3G Smartphones it is required to have a $29.99 per month unlimted Data Plan.

  • plain and simple, when it comes to speed, you cannot compare the droid and the droid eris. The reason why is because the Eris loads flash content, unlike the droid, so in terms of true html browsing, the eris has the spotlight, not the droid. Oh yeah, i have an Eris and it rocks!

  • arent the droid and the droid eris running on verison while the i phone is on at&t? and the i phone had full bars when the others didnt...

  • @WIERDOMAN123321 And the iPhone was still slower...

  • The droid looks unfriendly... i mean... really... its all pointy and stuff, and the eris looks more comfortable. I'm definitely going with eris! Cant Wait!!!!

  • @AtAvAnHaLeN23 lol! that was funny reading :)

    the droid will corner you in an alley and rob you of your lunch money! O:

  • lol yeah sorry but the eris beats all in browser speed with opera browser

  • F this guy. He keeps putting down the Eris! WTF. Asshole. He has favorites. I hate people who have favorites.

  • @Britannic1915 and like you don't have favorites?

  • @Britannic1915

    eris sucks dick anyways slow piece of shit.

  • @Britannic1915

    I know i still kinda like that phone.

  • @LizzyBearLPS

    Well, the Droid 1 is obviously better, I mean, it can even run some of the more modern games, and overclocking it makes it comparable to some of the late-2010 phones, while the eris struggles to run Angry Birds at a consistent framerate.

  • terrible...

  • of course the iphone won that it had full bars the droid had 3 of 4 bars

  • two days ago i was in a huge dilemma between choosing the droid or eris but i went with the moto droid and i must say, i am in love with it! i have no regrets with my choice. the texting is actually really easy to use, and i dont find the size or weight to be an issue at all.

  • Just for future reference AndroidCentral, we can turn annotations off...I wouldn't rely on them to block out offending content lol.

  • @hellkid48: HTC has said that they are planning on rolling out Android 2.1 (eclair) to the Eris and Hero by mid-march. Also, from what I understand, you can't install custom keyboards on any SenseUI device. You CAN do this on stock Android devices.

    @cellblock113A GET THE ERIS FOR CHRIST SAKE!!

  • does anyone know when eris is getting the 2.0 update?

    also is there a better keyboard for it i hate the virtual one it comes with :(

  • Guys I REALLY need input...Blackberry Curve 8530 or Droid Eris????

  • @cellblock113A easy.. eris all the way

  • @cellblock113A

    depends what you want

    email - blackberry

    browser-droid eris

    i'd choose the droid eris as an overall better phone.

  • @cellblock113A

    eris. trust me i have aBB storm and the eris destroys it. the amount of free apps for the eris and the internet speed is alot better. i like the eris alot. the moto driod might be faster but ill wait the extra 6 seconds if it means its easier to text cause the moto driods texting is freaking terrible.

  • It's really hard to download another keyboard...

  • no question... Eris

    blackberry is a disappointing on many aspects

  • eris

  • course the eris can multitask

    which could have slowed down the browser

  • Comment removed

  • i got the eris .... i like to moto droid but the eris is the phone for me :)

  • i called those phone numbers at 3:37 ...... bahahahahaha

  • wow im getting my eris tmrw n i cnt wait

  • Pros: Eris does Flash (Lite), so that alone makes it 100 times better. The microSD card allows you to put on a plethora of music, takes thousands of pictures with the 5 MP camera & camcorder. GPS & WiFi work perfectly.

    Cons: Battery life isn't great, but at least you can pop in a backup when it dies. Try doing that with an iPhone!!!

    It's 2010 and Apple is still too cheap to give us a phone that runs Flash without jailbreaking it.

  • the reason why the droid takes longer to render is the pixels. 400x854 vs the iPhones 400x340 of course the iPhone will render faster, the problem is you have to zoom to read anything on the iPhone where as the droid its a lot easier and a lot more crisp.

  • Hoping to buy an Eris soon. My enV doesn't vibrate half of the time, ring, or beep, yet when I need to prove it's broken it ironically works again.

    I kind of still want a faster overall phone, so I want to wait for the Nexus One but $200 is really expensive for me.

  • your set up is stupid. try harder next time

  • my eris is faster idk whats up with yours probuly cause you have them closer 2gether

  • ive had an iphone 3g for about a year now. recently i changed my provider to verizon i got the eris. its an ok phone but the iphone is just a beast. the app store, safari, and of course itunes. for someone that has a lot of music automatic sync to itunes is amazing. thinkin about unlocking the iphone 3g and selling the eris. don't know yet?

  • @mrcooldollars

    If you unlock your iPhone you still wont be able to use it with Verizon.

  • too bad you dont have three index fingers.

  • the default browser sucks. download dolphin browser. muuchh faster with notification bar still shown. the eris kicks ass

  • i love the groid eris i got it just a week ago and my uncle got me the regular droid so i was shocked to get both droids

  • did you use the app killer for thedroid so you got more processor power

  • eris is better tho

  • Just a thought but we didn't see you clear the cache or history on the iPhone. Could be another reason why it loaded faster. The Eris is my first smartphone so I wouldn't be able to compare but just found this interesting.

  • you also have to take into account how much signal each phone has. AT&T 3G is rare to find around where I am and I have 3G on my eris wherever I go.

  • liar

  • too bad the droid gets no credit for winning the first page faster than the iphone...

  • eris!!!!!

  • I have an Eris, no red tint on mine... go figure.

  • Clearly this is bias. You suck. Try again.

  • the motorola droid does have multi touch but not on browsing

  • The thing that AC forgot to mention is that the Eris is Mutitouch,Droid is not.

  • iphone on verizon in september

  • I'm probably gonna get the Eris, just because I text so much, and I know a few people who have a Moto Droid and I hate both keyboards, physical and virtual. So much.

  • first of all, why would you even use web on the phone!!!

  • Come on really

  • stop wasting ur wortless time omg idf somone wants the droid itll be faster if somone wants the eris theyll looose an extra 2 seconds bg whoop and the only reason y u couldnt type with the droid is becuse ur retarted and technologically handicapped and shut up youtube ik im a bad speller

  • does droid eris have 3g network?

  • Yes. All smartphones do. But if you're on AT&T you barely ever get it

  • yea, it might be a tad slower than the Droid, but its like $100 cheaper!

  • I'm probably getting the Droid Eris and I wanna know if it will still be available to the end of March through the beginning of April???

  • yes of course it will be available for many years!

  • Pretty nice basic web comparison it was a tough time at Verizon for me choosing which one to get, I eventually went with Moto Droid, just because of Android 2.0 and some other features not on the Eris. I do like the Eris design and the HTC Sense for Android. The Droid just has a vanilla(plain) Android OS so you have more of a sandbox for customization. The good thing though I have heard Android 2.1 should be coming for both soon.

  • And another note the pinch to zoom or multitouch is in the Android programming the HTC u can use it right off the bat but for some reason Moto decided not to open it for the Droid in the US but it is open in the European version(forget the name of phone) Moto has said they are planning an update for multitouch in the future with Droid, hopefully thats when 2.1 and Flash 10.1 come to it.

  • You did not mention that the Droid Eris has the multi-touch capability, so you can pinch to zoom in our out of pages ... comes really handy for me in web browsing and picture viewing !

  • I have a eris, not sure how I could edit text and navigate without a trackball.

  • And the Eris has dual touch and the Droid doesnt

  • You've got a new voicemail!

  • its droid and droid eris, say that in the title

  • Getting the motorola droid this summer when i upgrade

  • im getting the eris tomorrow. am i making the right choice?

  • You DO realize that people can turn off annotations, therefore can see the phone numbers shown when you reveal the iphone?

  • i cant wait till RIM releases the webkits for blackberrys hopefully that will be faster then both of these phone. and why would u be texting some one from mt? the area code is 406.

  • the droid eris is running os 1.5 with sense not 1.6, but i still prefer the droid eris over the moto droid

  • i agree totally saw both gettin the eris tommorow i cant wait

  • i ahve the eris...im looking towards the moto droid becuz of the keybaord and its more advirtised lol

  • you didnt clear the cache on the iphone!!

  • Is there and app to get a photo flash on the eris like you can on the iPhone?

  • i believe the eris also does the landscape view you biased mofo..

  • I agree, very biased how he just throws the Eris out when it loaded the last page faster than the Droid...

  • how did you fiqure that out!!! lolz

  • 3:28

    1(406)-356-5681

    1(352)-358-1522

  • That looked like even though the iphone's page popped up first the Eris loaded completely before the iPhone did.

  • both load slow as crap!

  • @KoolGirlsDoThis there actualy really really fast he probbly had alot of apps running in the background

  • very true sureiguess

  • he had FULL bars on the iphone and only 3/4 bars on droid

  • @sureiguess1 its because if u scrolled down on the iphone the page what be loading and the droid takes longer because if you scroll all of it would be done loading

  • i would take the droid motorola any day, i have the droid eris though...

  • you r dumb you love the droid more than the eris it is easy to see the eris was done as fast as the i phone and you no it

  • yeah u are a noob.

    1. pinch to zoom on the eris

    2. clicked droid first and said "boom boom". why the hell couldnt u just click them all at the same time? not very hard..

  • The HTC Eris has 'pinch zoom' for browser and few apps...no need to double tap to zoom like the Motorola Droid!

  • Eris has the same amount of apps as droid, hero, myTouch, and everything else.

  • So does the Droid LOL! Dolphin Browser.

  • If you have to advertise yourself as an iPhone killer, you're basically just admitting that the iPhone is still on top. As long as these iPhone "killers" come out, they'll all be proving that they're really not.

  • true but there is talk that iphone is leaving for verizon :O

  • And there's been talk about an apple touchscreen "tablet" for years. From my experience keeping track of apple releases, I've come to see that if someone out there has already predicted it, Apple probably won't do it. Like the rumors of an iChat camera on the iPhone, or this tablet people keep yammering about. Apple likes to keep it's tradition of being innovative, not giving people what they want, but coming up with things people don't even know they want.

  • there is also talk about iPhone leaving for sprint for the "iPhone 4G"

  • 4 g fails

  • have you tried it????

  • no but have u used 3g? ON WEED?

  • on weed? and yea i have and 3G is pretty slow, or not the fastest.

  • LoOkCaNdYcOrN, I heard the same thing, but to Verizon... it'll be interesting to see what one it goes to because i don't think it'll go with AT&T

  • you can tell someone prolly has an iPhone lol

  • agreed. theres really no way i can see that any company can top the iphone.

  • foolish

  • there will never be an iPhone killer. There will be phones that are arguably better, like the motodroid, and phones that are undeniably better, like the Eris. But the iPhone will always do well and not only continue to innovate but likely leap back ahead of the competition.

  • @GGstrikesfat

    there will be an iphone killer sometime. guaranteed.

  • The Nexus One might come close, seems to be a pretty powerful phone. And the Droid is HYPED, pretty much everyone I know with an Android phone has it(because verizon has the best coverage), but I do know someone with a G1....I think I'm getting an Eris on Wednesday, I kinda want the N1 but I don't wanna wait another 2 months.

  • I have the eris and i just sold my iphone 3gs today i gata say i like the eris better probably because of twitter fkash and the camera but i gata say the eris is better! Htc has improved alot...i used to have adiamond and i hated it.

  • HTC has come a long way. The iPhone has lost its flare. Apple still boasts things that no one cares about, like AT&T boasts that you can browse the internet while on the phone. Who does that?! No one really does. So it's almost useless. And copying and pasting... smart phones could do that a LONG time ago.

  • Hah, I knew the iPhone was going to win. It can't be beat. Droid can try and try, advertise their misleading commercials, but when it all comes down to it, you can't compete with iPhone's speed. In my opinion, if you can't manage to beat the iPhone in browser speed, you shouldn't even try.

  • the fone #'s r 1 (406) 356-5681 and 1 (352) 358-1522

  • @Grlpowr23

    i was going to get the droid but when i picked both of them up, i really started to like the Eris. so much smaller and lighter. i missed the flip keyboard initially because i had the voyager, but i've gotten better with the Eris touch screen. it's never going to be as good as the voyager keyboard, but overall what eris does blows me away. its so customizable and easy to use. the only nagative i have after 3 weeks with it is battery life isn't great. maybe cause i use it so much

  • Well with jailbreaking now adays more and more people are switching to iphones for free apps and developing and what not

  • Drois Eris is WAY better than droid, motorola is the worst phone maker out there, the commertials make it seem like its a great phone but its just another motorola piece of shit, i went into verizon the day after both the droid and droid eris came out , i looked at both and new immedietly that the droid eris was the phone for me. So if any 1 is deciding between droid and droid eris go with the eris, you will not regret it

  • i do agree with your opinion on motorola. I don't know why ppl barely mentions it.

  • the droid slide mechanism sucks! there is almost no spring

  • The Droid Eris is also loading flash content so obviously the other two are going to be faster since they aren't.

  • you put phone numbers on the internet =P

  • this guy sucks, he doesn't show you the pinch to zoom for the iPhone and the Eris and he doesn't show you the zoom feature on the droid. to me, if your whole video is about web browsing, you should cover that

  • you had full balls for the iphone. for the eris and droid didnt. this browser speed doesnt show anything!!!!

  • Eris has HTC Sense UI interface which BLOWS away Droid and Iphone interface.
