Verizon HTC Droid Eris Reviews
The Verizon HTC Droid Eris cell phone is great, the touch screen works great even with the screen protector. Texting or Emailing is so easy on this phone. Internet pages pull up fast and are clear to read. The Droid Eris is fun to customize and play with. There are already a ton of free apps on Google Market. The virtual keyboard is the best I’ve ever used. Quick access to my contact, emails and trail text messages. I love this phone!

The Verizon HTC Droid Eris cell phone features include features include a 3.2-inch HVGA display, 5 megapixels camera, HTC’s Sense UI, Wi-Fi, GPS, a 528 MHz Qualcomm MSM7600 processor, 512 MB of ROM memory and 288 MB of DDR RAM, 3.5 mm headset jack and running Android 1.5 OS.
The size of the phone is good. Call quality is great, but sometimes it cuts out, even with full service. Internet is easy to navigate and the touchscreen is good. The phone takes a while to switch to the horizontal screen, which is a pain when trying to type a quick message. The 5.0 megapixel camera is very nice and easy to use. The camera takes great pics inside even without a flash. There are so many applications to be downloaded. I also like being able to custom the home pages.

The only complaint that I have so far with this phone is that the battery life SUCKS!!!

It seems that HTC has this issue with all of their phones.. It makes it easier for them to sell extended life batteries and other crap like that. I see a trend here and i dont like it. I used to be able to get a new battery on any of my old phones fro free within a year of purchase. Now you only have 90 days to get your complaint in for a replacement. Also ive noticed that the batteries come partially charged whice i think destroys the life of the battery since it is not fully charged from the start.
Other than that i love what HTC is doing. I just bought the droid and im not looking forward to using the google crap they have programmed into it. You get ZERO privacy with google…

Turned mine in after a few days. It’s phone reception/calling abilities were inferior to my old LG VX8351. In addition, you can’t initiate a bluetooth call on any Android phone without looking at the phone. Safety hazard (and maybe illegal in my state).

Patrick: All I have to say is if you don’t want “google crap” on your phone, don’t buy an android phone. In case you didn’t know, android is Google’s OS so it should stand to reason they will put their “crap” on it. That’s like someone buying a PC & complaining because it isn’t a MAC.

In my opinion I think this looks like a great phone I’m thinking about getting this phone

The Eris suck ass, whoever developed this piece of shit needs to have their asses kicked. It unlocks constantly and the screen gets touched and then all of a sudden your contacts are wiped out, you’ve made a phone call you didn’t know you were making, it’s activated some app that drains your battery in 30 mins or something else.
The phone is pathetic, the screen is too sensitive and all you have to do is drop a feather on it and it activates. The screen keyboard and phone pads are pathetic and as of 3 months into it I still have not gotten use to the sweet spots of each character. Web browsing is slow, most useful apps like the NCAA on demand for the BB tournament are geared for the I-phone. This piece of shit is relegated to the market app store which has no kind of good media player. One more thing the e-mail attachments are hard to get will not open 9 out of 10 times even after purchasing the Documents to Go software. All in all a pathetic piece of junk, I am going back to my Blackberry which kicks the Eris’s ass blindfolded. Verizon and HTC collectively suck ass. Can’t wait for the up and coming companies with potential like Boost and Cricket to bring these bully giants down to their knees with practical pricing plans. As a matter of fact if you are a typical user that is in your home town 99.9% of the time and don’t need coverage in BumBang Egypt and you are with Verizon, ATT or Sprint you probably need your head examined when Boost is offering unlimited Web, Text and calling for 50 bucks a month.
Piss on Verizon and piss on HTC and it’s Eris Android piece of shit phone. Don’t get one, get the iphone if you have to have a touch smart phone.

No VZ Nagigator and Mobile Web instead of the real internet. I’m taking mine back after only 2 days. What a joke.

I’m DEFINATELY going back to Blackberry. The Storm 2 has everything I need.

This thing is a total piece of SHIT!!!!! Not only is the screen to small to have a touch screen only setup, it locks up all the time and the latest update from HTC wiped out all my contacts. It also reset the phone to factory settings and so far I can’t sync it with my desk top to retrieve my contacts and calendar from my outlook. Go back to Palm or Blackberry (both reputable brands) if you made the mistake of purchasing this thing and stay with them if you haven’t.

DO NOT GET THIS PHONE. I have been through hell with it. Randomly redials people, dies all the time. battery life is down to 3 hrs max. it takes a shit every 3-4 hours and have to restart. its like windows blue screens every few hours. I watch in agony as my boss tries to call me and I cannot answer cuae the phone freezes. Run fast and far from this peice of fuking shit

The phone is a pile of trash. My g/f has been stuck with hers for months and it’s constantly locking up. Now it just hangs up the phone whenever it connects.
Trash; don’t buy it.
