Just Got my Eris!

[AnerisDroid]

Well I just picked up my Eris from Fed Ex. It is charging before I activate it, and my anticipation is building. My BlackBerry has given me nothing but grief for the last few months, and I am so excited about this little slice of digital heaven!

When will this light turn green?!?!?!

I played with the Eris for hours after it charged up. Had to get use to it versus the clamshell phone I use to have.

Congrats I can't wait to get mine.

I'm definitely glad I ditched my BB Curve for the Eris.

You're gonna love it!

It is funny you ask that because there are several people including myself that seem to have the issue of the charging light not turning green.

It takes FOREVER to charge. Just plug it in and activate it while it is charging. I had no patience with mine.

You have to wonder if something is maybe wrong then with the included charger? With such a weak battery, why does it take 4 to 5 hours to charge a drained standard battery? I am now charging my Eris and it wasn't completely dead but been on the charger for 2 hours now and it still isn't done? WTF?

I have decided that the Eris is like one of those evil little anime bunnies. It is cuter and more petite than I thought--which is awesome--but it keeps staring at me with this one little orange eye that won't turn green. It is torturing me, looking cute the whole time.

Actually I just looked up "how long to charge eris" and came up with this link. I unplugged my Eris and plugged it back in and sure enough, the light turned green within a few seconds. Apparently this is a known issue. And to think I have been waiting for who knows how long with a full charge.
