How Time Flies

I installed leak 1 two days before root was achieved. :( I am watching the update threads but not like I was last year.
I definitely learned my lesson about installing leaks, but I'm in the same boat again.:( I have an Incredible 2, and it came from Verizon with 2.3.3 preloaded. Currently there isn't a software root method unless the phone has 2.2.1. There is a hardware option (XTC clip). I'm working on getting one now. I never thought getting the Eris last year would have this effect. I'm even running linux instead of Windows now:eek:

Frisco with real-live genuine forum/banning power....can you imagine if he had that a couple years ago. I think I would probably been on xx_bishop_xx(4) as a screen name by now. ;)

Moi? ..

There's another who was chocked to the fingertips with Android/ROM/etc knowledge for us all.

I've got to see what became of him.

I think I have seen him over in the incredible forums...
being here brings back memories of law suites and onions :p

it really doesn't seem like that long ago that I was waiting for root for the leak because I wasn't patient :/

now I have an incredible running miui and it is sick!
I gave my Eris to my mom and she promptly dropped it on the ground and shattered the screen... it was a sad day.

Do you like physical keyboards?

I didn't back when I tried the original Droid ages ago. Stayed with on-screen keyboards (Eris, Fascinate).

But I fell for the Droid 3 right away in the store, and it surprised me... now I like having the whole screen when in a text field, etc, especially when posting here, as opposed to most of the screen obscured by the keyboard.

Plus this thing is fast!

Heyyy, I used to be a Eris Owner :)

I used to hate this phone, love this phone and any other emotion.
It was my first official android phone and I adored it's cosmetic
design, I just hated the lag.

I think in the 8 months I owned a total of 6 eris devices.
LOL i'd always switch for an OG droid and then i'd miss my eris
and then switch back to it. LOL

Hey Cable<3

Yeah I did go to Windows.

and I Love Windows. BEST....OS...EVER!

But I am back with Android, temporarily just because i do miss having a Front Facing Camera so I am a mostly content owner of a Droid Charge and Xperia Play.

Once Mango hits Windows Phone 7 and Nokia releases their hardware with a FFC(or even Samsung and LG), I'll be dropping Android for good lolol.

And I just discovered Frisco was a Moderator now lol.
Do you still have an Eris?
