"OTD" or the whole name?

I'll look around there again. The user names I ignored when reading the comments, except for the author of the rumor.

You might try querying the site admin there for the IP address of the person with that user name there. Send that via PM to the site admin here for comparison to users here.

Just a thought, if you want to smoke the person out.

Another approach might be to go into the Lounge area here and post a thread openly asking about it.

I think I am going to contact the site and see they will give me the ip, but I also think making a federal case out of it will only make matters worse.

At least they didn't make me sound like an idiot, right?

There are many user names out there that have more than one person behind them; probably hundreds of "frisco" users.

But yours I have never seen before coming to this site. That does not mean it might not be the legitimate user name of some bloke or lady with interest in that genre (I googled it and the movie names, etc were manifold).

My first suspicion on seeing it, after you pointed it out, was that it was a person with another user name here copying you. But now that seems unlikely.

I agree. I laid last night with my headphones in and watched I Am Legend. It was awesome. This is my first smartphone and I'm still in awe of what it can do.

Well, to some of us it is not a "big deal," but this legal stuff is just an interesting (possible) development.

I think I may agree with the spirit of your post; there are a lot of great devices out there. I do like my Eris very much, however lately I've become a little bit disconcerted by the 2.1 leak and by the anxieties expressed over rooting, not to mention the apparent upcoming inability to just keep 1.5 which works great for me on my Eris.

I sometimes get the feeling that I could have done better in my selection of a new device at the time I upgraded from my Samsung Instinct. I could have thought it through a bit longer, and most importantly I could have come to the Eris forums for a look around for a few weeks before making the purchase: I may have changed my mind, but I am not sure of that; it's just that the tone here seems to be that the Eris is not a great phone as is and needs either rooting or an upgrade/update to bring it up to snuff.

Temper all of he above with the fact that I am definitely not a geek type and have little understanding of these devices, only a good understanding of what I need a device to do.

I don't look at it that way at all. I see it more like, the Eris is a great phone and upgrading/updating makes it even better. I was really impressed with the phone when it was on 1.5, but I am astounded by how it performs on 2.1.

What are you guys talking about? I respect acidbath and OTD and Caddyman very much, but it just looked to me like the poster of the "what's the big deal.." was just expressing his or her opinion and wanting to know why so much about this legal stuff.

Do you all know something about him or her that I don't know?

It is very surprising that the Eris would be leaving at some point soon.
Really is the lower end of the Android phones that Big Red will be carrying...

Cool. I am of similar opinion, except that I don't feel I need anything other than 1.5.

That gets me yelled at in here.

Yeah it is a great phone....
But the world is taking a turn towards the 1GHZ
My HD2 is the first 1 GHZ phone I have ever used, and WOW, the sheer power and speed is really mind blowing...
I think that the Eris is awesome, and its just evolution that we all keep upgrading to bigger and better stuff

Just realized this reads like random thoughts...LOL..oh well....

As it is the HD2 is wanted very much by many Verizon customers. I was wondering if there is an equivalent out there, the "Passion" or something.

[edit] .. found the Passion stuff .. it's an old article ..

HTC HD2 for Verizon Wireless Could Be Android 2.0 Smartphone
Yeah....
The HTC Incredible is said to be sporting 1 ghz and Sense
And we all know that eventually Big Red will get a CDMA version of the Nexus 1...
Just dont know if it will be Verizon or unlocked...but either way...

Well, if I'm going to abandon my beloved Eris it is going to be for that speed.

I confess to also eye-balling another HTC product: the Touch Pro 2, which gets 4.5 out of 5 stars by user reviews. But it uses (cover your eyes) Windows Mobile 6.1.

Dang, another good review for it.

My Eris is sniffling right now with all this HD2 etc talk. I'd better take her out of my pocket and message somebody, browse the web a while with her, etc. I don't want to make her mad at me.

The official OTA will come to my phone and, at that point, or shortly thereafter, I'll likely, along with many others, stop talking up the 1.5 and thus become perhaps a little less annoying.

Haha. Just teasing. But wouldn't you just be so upset with us if we have the actual release, all our bugs worked out and then we leave the boards? You'll be stuck with Smacky.

Hey, if you're going to cultivate hopes, why not go for something more worthwhile, like me finding love for some non-Android device and not using these forums any more?

I think he is trying to be realistic.

Yes, unbridled hope can be a slippery slope to unrealistic fantasies.

I'm just saying that's like being sad that the Ford Taurus got discontinued, its not really that big of a hit. But hey, there's hope, the Ford Taurus was officially discontinued and now look, its back out there making families proud. And besides I have a Mytouch, its like the same phone as the Eris, if it got canceled, oh well, just think of your phone now as a collectors edition. I just don't understand why this is a 'hot' thread.

Most well-used threads in here have wicked topic-drift off-and-on.

The fact that the posts sway back to the topic at hand says, usually, that it is a dynamic one, that is it's a topic that is out there in the news or at least being bandied about other forums and blogs, etc to it is being discussed here as well.

Seriously though, if this is true, what they will most likely do is drop the Eris, make the Droid $99 BOGO Eris till they are gone or something, and sell the N1 ans Incredible for $250 after rebate.

The Eris is popular. Maybe they'll just continue all the BOGO stuff for it and do the other stuff you mention as well.

Quite a portfolio for Verizon et al, imo.

But if you could get a Droid for the price of an Eris, would you still buy the Eris? They can drop the Eris now because the better Sense UI phones are available now. They have recognized that more people want the Sense UI option and the form factor, plus the better processor, so they are demoting the Droid and removing the Eris to make way for the next Gen.

Eris is popular. Eris plus Snapdragon processor, Native 2.1, and updated Sense UI, and HD 3.7" screen =GOLDEN!!!

I'm thinking the price structure would have the Eris and Droid in a BOGO schema and/or as Droid 99 bux and Eris 49 or whatever. It's just that the Eris has a following and it seems foolish for it to suddenly vanish from the shelves never to be seen again.

Acid...
Welcome back from your trip. Off topic here but just wanted to know if any updates on root since the mods shut down the xda thread due to no progress. Any new thread or news?

If someone was giving me a Moto Droid for free I would rather pay money for the Eris.

Well now that i have 2.1 i might agree. But if the Eris was gone, the Droid $99 and the Incredible at $200, what would you buy now?
