Thanks guys. My biggest hesitation with the Nexus is the signal issues people are reporting. I live in a dead zone. Every Verizon phone I have ever had drops every call in my house (if it rings at all). I deal with it and accept that I have to use my landline, but I don't want to pay a lot of money for a shiny new phone that I can't use at home. Wifi will of course work.
May have to bite the bullet and get one of those network extenders. Honestly, I feel Verizon should just give me one. I pay them a lot of money every month for a service I don't get.

Well, I'm finally on my last month with my Eris. I will be pretty sad to see it go. Well, at least not use it everyday. Its been a pretty good run. Then again, I still use my Nokia phone from 2 years ago, so I'll probably find a use for it.
Hello Demache. We don't see your user name in threads around the forums often enough anymore.
Finally upgrading? If so, to which device? I'll guess RAZR Maxx.
I've been heavily looking at the Galaxy Nexus.
I'm still not sold on what phone to get. I've been heavily looking at the Galaxy Nexus, but I'm not limiting myself to any one phone. Why hurry? I still have a month to think about it. And anything will be an improvement performance wise over my Eris.
Bberry makes a good point about those just now leaving the Eris: sense.
So, a nice shiny new Rezound, eh?
But you're right, impulse buying makes for a sad boy. Taking plenty of time makes a happy boy, or girl.
Just how much of a pain is it to re-activate the Eris?
I have been using it as an mp3/robot chicken player at the gym, and have been having the urge to run it as my phone again.
I am VERY happy with my DInc2, as many have stated it is like it is a "perfected Eris", but I miss the little guy still.
I just want to use it for a couple weeks or so, then go back to my DInc2.
Is it as easy as it should be? Call vz and BAM, switched?
I still play with my old ADR6200, but I made the mistake of factory-resetting it. Now I can't reactivate it without rendering my SIM card useless. I might get my girlfriend the Rhyme when she is ready to upgrade, so we can use that as a test base and see what she thinks. Then I can set it up as a Wifi-only device. I would like to have my Eris at work to use as a tiny spreadsheet-based calculator, so if anyone knows how to get it going again without having to activate it as a phone, let me know.
Nice to know I'm still welcome around here. I sort of stopped coming regularly once the Eris forums started dying down. I still miss summer of '10. That was a really exciting time around here, with all the "this phone is terrible threads" alongside the new root discoveries. That was back when my new post counter would reach into the hundreds, rather than barely make it into the double digits. *ah nostalgia*

Awwww.....Agreed....The Summer of '10. *sigh* The good ole' days indeed.
