Eris discontinued?

"OTD" or the whole name?

I'll look around there again. The user names I ignored when reading the comments, except for the author of the rumor.

 

[OfTheDamned]

i'd own up to both those posts

I don't really have a problem with the content and I will admit that each one does sound like something I would actually say. I do, however, have a problem with the fact that I didn't say them. I don't like the idea that someone used my name to post stuff on another sight.

Rumor: HTC Incredible Replacing Droid Eris At Verizon Wireless-Eris End Of Life Is April 1st | BerryScoop

A rumor without a leg to stand on will get around another way.

Imitation is the sincerest form... But they can never be you. We know you.

Someone is using my name in the comments.

And:

I totally agree my dear

You might try querying the site admin there for the IP address of the person with that user name there. Send that via PM to the site admin here for comparison to users here.

Just a thought, if you want to smoke the person out.

Another approach might be to go into the Lounge area here and post a thread openly asking about it.

I think I am going to contact the site and see they will give me the ip, but I also think making a federal case out of it will only make matters worse.

At least they didn't make me sound like an idiot, right?

Nah, don't sweat it. Not worth your time. Besides, you have Italian to learn.

There are many user names out there that have more than one person behind them; probably hundreds of "frisco" users.

But yours I have never seen before coming to this site. That does not mean it might not be the legitimate user name of some bloke or lady with interest in that genre (I googled it and the movie names, etc were manifold).

My first suspicion on seeing it, after you pointed it out, was that it was a person with another user name here copying you. But now that seems unlikely.

 

[OfTheDamned]

That is a possibility. I had to get Amongthedamned on Twitter because ofthedamned was already taken.

Just keep the 3.2 display. Don't want a big fat 4.3 hd2 or 3.7 nexus or even 3.5, its a phone, let me fit it in my pocket. Eris/hero/my touch is best form factor

I agree. I laid last night with my headphones in and watched I Am Legend. It was awesome. This is my first smartphone and I'm still in awe of what it can do.

The Eris isn't even that cool of a phone, what is the big deal?

Thanks for trolling by, come on back anytime.

Well, to some of us it is not a "big deal," but this legal stuff is just an interesting (possible) development.

I think I may agree with the spirit of your post; there are a lot of great devices out there. I do like my Eris very much, however lately I've become a little bit disconcerted by the 2.1 leak and by the anxieties expressed over rooting, not to mention the apparent upcoming inability to just keep 1.5 which works great for me on my Eris.

I sometimes get the feeling that I could have done better in my selection of a new device at the time I upgraded from my Samsung Instinct. I could have thought it through a bit longer, and most importantly I could have come to the Eris forums for a look around for a few weeks before making the purchase: I may have changed my mind, but I am not sure of that; it's just that the tone here seems to be that the Eris is not a great phone as is and needs either rooting or an upgrade/update to bring it up to snuff.

Temper all of he above with the fact that I am definitely not a geek type and have little understanding of these devices, only a good understanding of what I need a device to do.

Nice to see you come out from under the bridge

 

[Caddyman]

not worth it people.

I don't look at it that way at all. I see it more like, the Eris is a great phone and upgrading/updating makes it even better. I was really impressed with the phone when it was on 1.5, but I am astounded by how it performs on 2.1.

 

[Frisco]

What are you guys talking about? I respect acidbath and OTD and Caddyman very much, but it just looked to me like the poster of the "what's the big deal.." was just expressing his or her opinion and wanting to know why so much about this legal stuff.

Do you all know something about him or her that I don't know?

 

[acidbath5546]

not worth it people.

LOL...Was all in good fun
On topic:
It is very surprising that the Eris would be leaving at some point soon.
Really is the lower end of the Android phones that Big Red will be carrying...

Cool. I am of similar opinion, except that I don't feel I need anything other than 1.5.

That gets me yelled at in here.

LOL....
Yeah it is a great phone....
But the world is taking a turn towards the 1GHZ
My HD2 is the first 1 GHZ phone I have ever used, and WOW, the sheer power and speed is really mind blowing...
I think that the Eris is awesome, and its just evolution that we all keep upgrading to bigger and better stuff

Just realized this reads like random thoughts...LOL..oh well....

As it is the HD2 is wanted very much by many Verizon customers. I was wondering if there is an equivalent out there, the "Passion" or something.

[edit] .. found the Passion stuff .. it's an old article ..
