Droid Eris Review

When you’re talking about Droids, there are some that stand out and then others that do diligent work all while being in the background. The Droid Eris by HTC that Verizon sent over is not the focus of a massive campaign like its bigger brother, the Droid. But outside of the spotlight, without all of the attention, the Droid Eris is working and doing its job pretty well. You could say that the Droid Eris is the R5-D4 to the Droid’s R2-D2. You see, while R2-D2 went on to live a life paired with Luke Skywalker, R5-D4 had to keep working. Similarly, while the Droid gets propped up as a iPhone competitor, the Droid Eris plods along with some pretty nice features itself.

There are a couple of key differences between the HTC Droid Eris and the more costly and bigger Motorola Droid. Easy to point out is the Droid Eris lacks a camera flash, but there is the same 5.0MP rating on the camera. There’s also no keyboard to slide out, instead the Eris relies on its touchscreen for input. The Eris also ships with a smaller microSD card, rating only 8GB to the Droid’s 16GB. It is upgradeable though, so you can pop in a 16GB card if you have one. The most important feature lacking though is on the software side. The Eris only runs Android OS 1.5, which lacks some very important features that are available in 2.0 (like the turn-by-turn) navigation.

We’ve been waiting patiently for the Samsung Omnia 2 ever since June, but now at long last, the titanic Windows Mobile smarpthone is here at last.

Having played with a finished Samsung Omnia 2 for the first time, we’re torn. We were all over the HTC HD2’s capacitive screen when we got a hold of the fella earlier on in the week, but Sammy’s OLED screen looks even better. Screens, snaps and videos are all eye popping, and make the iPhone seem positively low-res.
