Exactly. Most people on this forum did not know this was a rebadged Hero until they heard it on here. When the Incredible was announced, it was announced as the successor to the Eris.
While I doubt the Eris will simply vanish come the Incredible, it will slowly be phased out like the Storm was with the Storm 2 and other Blackberry devices. The Eris won't stay at $79.99 with VZW and then simply fall off. More may not be produced, but even that's going a bit too far. It'll gradually come down in price and when it's sold at a break-even price, then you know it's officially going to die.
It still has some life left in the store, but the phone you have now is good to go for another three years, if it had to. Unless you fraudulently claim a new one through insurance, then it's different.
