Hey everyone
I'm new to this forum but have been reading some things this weekend. Seems like a cool group of people in here and I'm happy to be aboard! My question to everyone who are wiser about Droids than myself, if you could buy a new phone tomorrow, would it be an Eris? The reason I ask is my sister in law and her husband just bought an EVO4G and said I could have their old Eris. I'm currently a BlackBerry user, wish I wasn't but Big Red's 2 year contract got you by the balls, and want to make the switch to Droid.
With the Eris no longer in Verizon's line up and it not being made anymore I don't know If I should use it or wait till my contract is up and buy an Inc or D2. I have read threads with people who have rooted their Eris and wouldn't trade it for the world. I'm just worried that If I don't know how to root the Eris that in a few months it won't be fast enough for me or have a lot of lag. Not getting OS updates also worries me. With so many new Droids hitting the market weekly, it seems, will the Eris ever become completly obsolete? If these are stupid questions I apologize in advance. I don't have $600 to buy a new droid outright, but, my contract is up around Christmas time. Would you reccomend using the free Eris until my contract is up or waiting it out and getting a newer Droid?
I thank you all for reading this and taking the time to give me some thoughts/feedback.
