Just got my Droid Eris in today.Should i keep it or get a Incredible.Pros and Cons.Been reading about all the issues people are having with the update.If i do keep it what updates should i do.Im upgrading from a chocolate 2.Thanks for any help.
This is also a true statement. But I still love my Eris.I love my Eris and 2.1 is a HUGE improvement, but if I were buying a phone now, it would be an Incredible for sure. Its just no contest. The Incredible is better in every way. The Eris is a great phone, but it's time has passed.
You're posting your question in an Eris forum so expect to get many biased opinions. I'm trying to be honest and unbiased.

I have had NO probs with 2.1. My Eris is a great phone. Like what was said once I will say again. Most of the probs you hear is from poor operation by the owner. Just take the time to get to know the phone and you should have no probs.
True Cboss. The best thing to do really is to look and research the phones,then decide which one really has the features YOU will be most happy with. We can give as many opinions as we want, but really its what you like best.
Are funds an issue?

Ok then. You have the Eris for 30 days and will pay $35 if you return it. Try it out for at least 3 weeks to see if you're happy. Head over to the Verizon store to check out the Incredible within that time to see if it's worth the extra $155. I have both and I like them both. The Eris feels better in the hand but the DI is not too far off. Both have issues, albeit different ones. I flip between the two depending on my mood. On a subjective level, the Eris is cute and comfortable. The DI is powerful and daunting at times. Either way, you can't go wrong IMO, it's just a personal decision.The money is not a big deal. Did an upgrade $80 for the eris or $200 for the inc.Im not a super user.Use it for facebook,
internet etc .
No, I say "Keep the Eris" because it is a great phone and after playing with both I still believe that it is the right phone for me. It feels better in my hand, is more pocketable, plus as a phone that has been out there for longer, has more support and fixes.
Like I said before, just because the Inc has better specs does NOT mean it's always the best phone for everyone. Not everyone NEEDS the huge screen and processor and 8mp camera.
I don't get the mindset that "everyone is jealous of the Incredible" and "how could you still want to buy the Eris when it's been out for 6 months, OMG is is sooo old and slow, blah blah blah."

I would say keep it. I had the Incredible and it seemed so flimsy in my hands that I took it back. I know I would end up dropping it and ruining it. Looking at 90% of the complaints on here seem to be standard user issues (not setting up sync properly, not checking that there are sync options in a menu as well in the program, not clearing out old cache data that 2.1 does not understand etc). Also it seems a LOT of the "bugs" are just Android 2.1. "In 1.5 i could _____ but in 2.1 I cant!" "My signal bars are wrong!" "My 1.5 app worked great but it's not working in 2.1". I am ordering an Eris from the "Certified Pre-Owned" selection on verizon and saving my new every two for the next big thing.
