I am starting to look for my next phone, so any advice on that score will be appreciated. Thanks!
I like to remember the "Tereg Days"; if you recall those. Watching his webcast for Eris rooting if you were one of us that did flash the 2.1 leak. "one-one thousand, two-one thousand...". I recall I even went and purchased a new micro SD because the one he had seemed to work. I still have my Eris (although I don't use it much), still in mint condition and in my opinion still is cosmetically more appealing than most new phones that come out these days.
It's nice to see the profile names and profile pics (some haven't changed) of the Eris "Varsity" folks.
That said, I am starting to look for my next phone, so any advice on that score will be appreciated. Thanks!
Still using my bone stock Eris, but it's days are number. I have a dead spot on the screen so I can't dail the number 7 and when I type text I have to keep turning the phone from portrait to landscape to avoid the dead spot. It's a major pain in the ass, but it still woks...moving onto an iPhone next...let the flamming begin....LOL

LOL, no flaming forthcoming--the iPhone is a great device.
Stay in touch and be sure to come back if you get another Android device .
Cheers!

Ok I take it back looks like I am going to get an incredable 2 because well it is free from Best buy and money is tight.... :fight:
Usually you can let it start the activation dial and then immediately disconnect it. It will try two more times, and then give up and proceed with a WiFi setup.
There is also a way by entering the ##778 menu. See http://androidforums.com/eris-suppo...help-getting-pass-activation.html#post1991633
Well, I'm about to say goodbye to my Eris. The Motorola Droid Bionic was back in stock (and free) on the Verizon website last weekend, and I qualified for an upgrade long ago. My 9-year-old son has asked if we can keep the Eris, so we'll see how it works on WiFi for games, music, etc. See you over in the Bionic forums!
I am but not likely for long; I've been upgrade-eligible for about 6 months now but have held out for the right device. I was hoping it would be the Dinc4g but if its release is held past next week to force upgraders into a tiered program, I'm most likely going to go with the free Bionic as well.
If you really want to stay with unlimited data, you can pay full price for a device (so, stay month-to-month). That's a tough payment to make, but it does give you the freedom to bolt any time you like - and a continuation of unlimited data.
At some point, though, you know that they are going to end unlimited data for even this...
OhBe1, I just wanted to reply to say that I have always loved your user name... nice avatar as well.
Good luck with the Bionic!

I ended up going with an iphone 4 it was only $49.99. I have had it for about a week now and absolutely love it. The camera is a milion times better than the Eris & everything runs nice, smooth, & fast. I do miss my HTC ring & alert tones though!
