Droids side by side: Eris v. Moto

Even though it runs an older version of the Android operating sytem, the Droid Eris (the HTC Hero manufactured for Verizon Wireless) proved as good a smartphone as the Motorola Droid for the things I liked to do.

moto's virtual keyboard has the guessing too

[tvbarn]

Yeah I saw that too. So, then the three-ounce keyboard becomes a heavy useless appendage. Why pay $100 more for that?

my charger doesn't disconnect like that. maybe you got a loose one. take it back.

loving the droid eris

verizon is not getting an iphone. thats the whole point of the droid

[hilerc]

I've never had the charger problem. In fact i can hold the phone upside down by the charger without it falling out. Take yours back and get a new one

So why not mention that the droid has an on screen keyboard as well as the slider? Its larger AND more responsive than the eris. The fact is that its MORE convenient to have a choice in keyboards, which is something only one of those phones offer. Also, not too difficult to change the annoying notification sounds on any phone really.

Eris wins

eris ftw. cheaper and better.

try pluggin in the eris next time

[forumboarder24]

I would get the Eris over the droid because you can upgrade to the 2.0 ,which is the same one the droid runs on, in 2010. Or you can wait until June when verizon gets the iPhone which is what I would do.

the Moto Droid and Google's android OS make for the best phone i have ever owned. I used to own a computer that ran on windows and dumped it for a Mac and have been happier ever since. So i dumped my windows OS "smartphone" for the Droid. I will never own anything running on windows!

I love the Eris because of HTC Sense UI and everything else LOVE IT!!!
