I now have Droid and Eris under the same roof

You can see my Eris unboxing and first impressions over at PhoneDog.

You know the drill, folks. Time to send ‘em in. Make sure you are clear about which phone your question or request is regarding because it’s getting pretty busy ’round here. I can’t say how long I’ll have either device, but if you want some comparisons of this and that, a side-by-side of such-and-such, now’s the time to tell me. Maybe I should attempt my first dogfight. It’s up to you. Lemme know.

SMS: 503-MOB-Bark (No one will be answering, checking for voice mails, etc.)
Example: Droid – How quickly does data cut off and restart when you get a phone call? In this case, I’d show it on video.
I can’t always confirm that I’ve received a question/request, but I do my best.

Eris-Droid


As for the December 11th OTA update leaks, I should point out that Motorola tweeted that link from three different accounts (in case you doubt the paperwork).

nice post, thanks!

nice post, thanks!

nice post, thanks!

I love how the video how the video attached to the call is for AT&T and the Droid is a Verizon phone.... great job :D

I WOULD LOVE 2 SEE A DOG FIGHT BETWEEN THE DROID AND THE DROID ERIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLZ MAKE 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really like the design of the Motorola Droid. Got mine about 2 days ago. Love the alarm clock feature with the dock station. Hope they make a new version without the keyboard so it can be thinner. The digital keyboard is good enoug for me.Navigation is really fast thanks to Android 2.0. Typing is kinda hard on the keyboard because of the 4 way navigation pad that is in the way. Nah, whatever I think the Droid is awesome and can easily take the iPhone.

I have an Eris and can't get my photos posted to Facebook live feeds. All my pictures post to my Facebook account (albums). I have tried everyway on my new phone even the way Facebook says to do it.

eris vs. droid dogfight!!!!!

I will talk about the differences, but I don't currently have a Hero on hand.

It's been added to my list and I'll address it in a video. Thanks.

If you want to see Hero vs Eris, Engadget already did the comparison: http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/htc-hero-eri...

Can you IM on the Eris? Do I have to download a separate IM app from the Android Store?

Plenty of blogs including Phonedog have done iPhone 3GS vs HTC Hero, and the iPhone clearly eclipses the Hero in terms of specs, so a Droid vs Eris dogfight would be useful. Specs don't always reflect the real-time performance of a device, take the Samsung Moment for example, superior specs to the Hero but only a slight increase in performance.

Hi,I have a question that even HTC is unsure about. When I get a text message the trackball blinks. When I get a gmail, the trackball does not blink and I don't get a little numbered icon underneath the mail icon like when I get a text. Is this normal, or is my phone defective?Thanks so much.

But that isn't Apples to Apples. Sprint Hero vs. Verizon Eris is a better more realistic dogfight.

Eris vs. Droid Dogfight!

I would REALLY love to see a comparison of the Hero and the Eris; I'm trying to decide which one to get. Verizon has the better coverage, by far, but sprint has a cheaper plan. I don't like how thick and heavy the Hero is, so I'm really interested to get my hands on an Eris. I'll keep my fingers crossed for even a short comparison!!
