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.

My GPS has always worked flawless. I watched the street signs exactly at the point I pass them. I mean dead on with no lag. If you mean time to load a destination I've never even thought about that until now so it must not be too bad (or I'm never in that much of a rush LOL). the experience is basically no different than any cheap stand alone GPS and since its a $99 PHONE ($19 and one free for me with upgrade credit) the fact that the GPS functions as well as it does certainly leaves little to complain about. Its like needing good quality photo's and complaining about a phone camera. Like I posted above I put my eris side by side with the EVO multiple times on 3G and the browser was faster for whatever reason. perhaps would be different on wifi. I agree I'd expect an upgraded phone to multi task better and open apps faster and SHOULD be better with the two things you mentioned but I didn't find that to be the case with the EVO and would have been severly p*ssed if I upgraded. I rooted to froyo, overclock to 748mhz, moved several apps to hard drive now speed and multi tasking is a non issue and none of it cost me a penny. Is it an incredible, NO but its nowhere near as incapable as you describe.
Most importantly when you bought the phone you knew it was entry level to the motorola droid. rooted my eris dust a stock 2.1 motorola droid in every benchmark btw and not far off from a stock nexus one on 2.1.
