    Went from 1.5 to OTA? You can still Root! (NOT for leakers)

    For anyone who's NOT on a LEAKED version of 2.1, you can still Root. We have verified that the PB00IMG.zip goes through its checking process, and asks to update. It looks very much like the Root PB00IMG.zip IS able to be flashed over any phones that went from 1.5 to OTA 2.1. So anyone...

    Screen Durability

    There have been many wondering about the durability of the screen of the Eris. Does it need a screen protector? Is it easily scratched? Is it anything like the 'Gorilla Glass' that is used on the Droid? The answers to these questions are yet unknown to most of us. We know the Droid's screen...

    Hi, I'm Paul. I'm a computer technician by day. I recently got a Droid Eris, after doing a LOT of research on your forum and others. I have spent dozens of hours with my droid and searching the internet and playing with other android phones (like the HTC Hero). I will contribute what I...
