I dunno, i have an eris and am perfectly happy with it. I don't see how a faster processor or bigger screen would make my life any better or enable me to use the apps i currently own any better. I'll wait 2 years and then get a new phone, i don't want to go through the hassle of setting up a new phone and rebuying all the accessories just to upgrade to the latest phone to come to market. On top of that i don't feel like spending a couple hundred dollars just to have the latest handset. Maybe i'm wierd but i like my eris, its small, functional, works perfectly, holds a charge all day + some, and gives me access to apps and games i enjoy. I can see making the upgrade when 4g comes to the area, but thats at least 2 years away. I don't get the logic that the eris is a bargain bin phone, it certainly is better than any other phone i've ever had. I dunno but i'll stay with what i got and leave the newer phones to those that have to have the latest and greatest and save a couple hundred bucks in the process.
