Its becuase you are not a smart phone user. Seems like you bought a smart phone just to be "cool". I have owned the Eris for about 5 months and switched the the Incredible. The Eris is so slow and frustrating to use. Browsing the internet on my Incredible is 3-4 times faster than with my Eris. Google Nav on the Eris is so slow its almost useless. You can forget multitasking on the Eris since it gets crippled due to lack of RAM. It so frustrating to have the Eris in a situations where you need to quickly look something up or quickly get directions ect due to how slow the phone is. The Eris is an OK phone for people that use it mostly just as a phone but for people who use apps like the browser daily, well its just a waste of time.
