Firstly, the Eris’s design wise it is great. It feels good in your hand and I prefer the touch sensitive navigation buttons on this phone much better compared to the Droid. The screen is a little small but still looks great. The web browser is fast(not as fast as the droid) but it DO have multi touch pinch zooESm in and out gestures. On the main screen, I noticed very minimal to no lag. Granted I only used a few applications and had a couple widgets, but it was very much a smooth experience navigating through the home screens. Streaming youtube video quality was very good. Trackball is nice, very reminiscent of a blackberry and I like that!
The HTC designed keyboard is okay. It might just be screen size, but the onscreen keyboard on the Droid is easier to use for me. Obviously it does have a 5MP camera, but camera quality on this phone is not as good as the Droid(Camera quality is still good though). Finally, the Eris phones that we used has some really strange glitches in them that I hope is isolated to our store. With the first demo phone, it was very difficult to unlock the screen. It was like the screen was totally unresponsive. It got to the point that if the screen was locked, we knew we wouldn’t be able to get it unlocked for a while no matter what we did(I even tried a hard reset). On the second demo phone, everything was fine until somebody turned the “orientation” off(meaning no accelerometer feature). When we turned it back on, the accelerometer was very laggy/didnt work at all even after several soft resets(taking the battery out).
Anyways, I don’t think it is anything serious. Personally, i like the Droid a little more, but I can see the appear of the Eris with its size, features and price point. I think both phone will be huge sellers for Verizon and quite honestly, you wont go wrong with the choice you make.
Well, if you have any other different views, Please tell us!
