Does A Lower Cost HTC Droid Eris Come With Better Features?

25 January 2010 6 views 3 Comments

I had an opportunity to hold and play a little while using the HTC Droid Eris (Verizon’s version for the HTC Hero) and I could not put it down because the form factor is so compelling. It’s wrapped in black soft touch material, its narrow so it feels like a phone, its thin, it is dense and it has curves that make a supermodel envious. Amazon.com is offering the HTC Droid Eris with the low cost of $9.99. That is not too shabby considering prior to holidays Best Buy offered the identical device for $49.99.

If you managed to notice HTC Droid Eris, which launched almost exactly the same time as of the much hyped Motorola Droid. Comparatively, if paying even $30 for HTC’s Android-powered Droid Eris was too much in your case, you may be interested to find out that Phandroid is providing the HTC Droid Eris for free. Granted, you’ll have to be a brand new Verizon Wireless customer in order to benefit from this deal, and you can’t argue much with a free phone, right? The HTC Droid Eris has an expansion slot that incorporates a pre-installed 8 GB MicroSDHC card while using the option to expand as much as 16 GB.

The HTC Droid Eris also features a replaceable 1300mah lithium ion battery which can handle around 5 hours of talk time or at least one week on standby. In reality those numbers were significantly less due to constant fiddling when using the phone to utilize the browser, listening to music, reply to emails, or utilize any of the phone’s number of features. It covers the whole glass screen for the front of your HTC Droid Eris, also it has pre-cut holes to provide full access to the phones functions. You’d almost have been sleeping under a rock to not have caught a word from the other Droid handset coming to Verizon, the HTC Droid Eris. Everybody outside of Verizon, HTC and Google has been talking up the Eris for a couple weeks now and why not its cheap and also has great functionality like HTC ActiveSync.

I found battery life for the HTC Droid Eris acceptable, but not stellar. If you use the mobile phone frequently to make calls, listen to music, along with send/receive text messages and e-mail, this smart phone may last about day and a half before needing to recharge. One among our connects hit us up and informed us that the much-awaited Motorola Droid and HTC Droid Eris are going to be launching around the same day. We previously heard from another source that Droid Eris would launch on the a different date, so we’re feeling pretty confident that everyone will manage to make their way down to any local Verizon Wireless shop and pick one up.
