The good folks at Verizon have just dropped off a loaner
Droid Eris at Mobile Tech Manor. The Eris is Verizon’s Android phone produced by HTC, so it has the HTC Sense interface baked in. I was surprised how small the Eris is in the hand, it almost feels too narrow for my big hands. It is very thin and light and is a typical HTC Android phone.
The Eris has a svelte 3.2-inch screen displaying at 320×480.
It runs Android 1.5, although I have been told by Verizon that 2.1 will be released for the Eris early next year. For some reason I was thinking that the Eris lacked Wi-Fi, but this handset has it and it works fine.
I am getting it set up now so I can test it out — here are some quick photos to show the phone from all sides:
