Android 2.2 being tested on the Eris?

I really hope it does come to the Eris and I don't see why it can't. Sure they will disable a few features on it like they did in 2.1 to run on the hardware but 2.2 does seem to run smoother and faster. It seems to handle the memory a lot better, most on 2.2 find no reason to even run a task killer at all (and acutally no task killer seems to be working on 2.2 at the moment). I know a lot of people in the Eris forum would love to get some of the features in 2.2 like bluetooth voice dialing (Finally!!!!) and flash (hopefully that's not one of things disabled).

I believe it.. t-mobile just announced that all mytouch3Gs are getting the Froyo update shortly. The specs for that phone compared to the Eris are nearly the same. HTC announced that they are working on all the phones released in 2010, the carriers are working on which older 2009 models (anything still on the market like the mytouch, Droid and Eris) testing to see which ones are worth updating.

Well, Verizon is still selling the Eris so far, so it doesn't seem EOL'd yet. If it stays like that for at least a month or two, the Eris may be a candidate for 2.2.

are you serious? goober grape FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry, but Willy ruined that for me, and even before Goober Grape existed.

Sad, sad story warning.. I'll give you the abridged version:

When I was 5, Willy was my pet, fuzzy little caterpillar. I thought he was immortal, of course, being 5.. anyway, I kept him in my pocket.

I reached into my jeans pocket that afternoon to show him off to my mom and.. well, out came peanut butter and jelly (ok, what resembled peanut butter and jelly).

So.. peanut butter sandwiches are fine. Jelly sandwiches are fine. Peanut butter and jelly, however, is squashed Willy.
