Eris's in the wild.

In November when VZW was pushing Android, there were 2 phones, Eris and Droid. Loved the feel of the Eris, coming from a Pearl, but was leery of the touch screen. So I seriously considered the Droid for about 2 minutes. The sales guy was pushing the Droid due to 2.0 and he had one. So I asked about the keyboard and he said it was nice but he hardly ever used it. Never looked at the Droid again except when I practice my shotput. That thing is a brick twice over.

Never saw an Eris in the wild, no wait!! I did, I just remembered. It was at a bar and the gal next to me had one. We chatted a bit and then I got high.

Everybody in my family has an Eris now lol. I really wanted a smartphone after getting a taste of one with Nokia Symbian. I wouldn't have minded the Droid, but it was a little too expensive. And since they were doing all those deals with Eris's, my parents thought what the hell.

I've seen many Eris's. Quite a few people have them in my school, actually. And when I went to New York, I saw many people that had one as well. I've seen some people with Droid's, but not nearly as many that have Eris's. I've seen about 2 Incredibles. And nobody here has an iPhone. You can tell if someone is out of state if they have an iPhone.

Wow, you're actually seeing more people with Eris's than Droids? So much for Verizon/Motorola marketing schemes. It seems like here it's the opposite. Everyone seems to have a Droid (or an iPhone) to the point that I get questions about what type of phone it is that I own.

Maybe I don't hang with the right people, but I've seen upward of 20+ Eris's ever since I cared to start looking for them. Only 2 people that I know of have Droid's at my school, and I've seen maybe 5 from random people.

Oh, well if they are Eris users, you're most definitely hanging with the right people. ;)
It was just interesting to read.

I've seen 100 iPhones for every Droid Eris... Not that popular here in Texas

Sacly...
