I've been looking and reading here for a few wks and finally registered. Three wks ago I dropped my BB Storm 2 which was my first smart phone, and shattered the screen. No Ins. for the last 15 yrs which saved a lot so I got the HTC Eris from VZ and a glove case to protect it. Didn't do any research about it or the android system before buying it. Coming from the BB to Android was like coming out of the dark ages. So many apps and ease of use. I'm an avid amature astronomer with several telescopes. Absolutely love google sky map and zenith telescope apps. Great tools! Don't do a lot of texting and facebook and other things most younger tech savy people do. Yea I'm an old fart! Anyway, after installing swype to my phone it sometimes doesn't work like it should. I put the HTC mobile network icon on my home page so I could easily turn off 3G when not in use to save battery. With my job I have to turn off my phone while I'm working so sometimes I use airplane mode. When I turn off airplane mode my the HTC mobile network icon on my home screen doesn't work to turn on 3G. I have to power off the phone to get it working again. It's not a big problem but sometimes annoying. Any fixes?
I've been reading about rooting and installing the leaked 2.1 but really don't think I'm savy enough to try so I'll wait for the over the air OTA when or if it comes. I still love the phone with 1.5 and a lot of my co workers I show my phone to want it to. Anyway thanks to anyone who responds to me with help!
