Better Picture of Droid Eris

By on October 29, 2009 in Droid Eris

droiderisWe’ve already seen some rumors of the second Droid coming to Verizon Wireless’s whole collection of Droids.  It’s to be the HTC built Droid Eris, which seems to be a slightly altered HTC Hero.  This one has some softkeys as well as a couple hardkeys and a trackball.  The initial photos/images seemed to make it look not so great really.  But here is a more official image, albeit with a gazillion watermarks.  Thanks to phonearena, we are able to post it up here for your viewing pleasure.  It’s reported that this will be available at Verizon on the 6th as well, at a price point of $99.  This will make it one of the more affordable Androids on the market in the US.  The Droid Eris features the 528Mhz Qualcomm MSM7200 which is very popular in the first generation of Android phones.  It comes with a 5MP camera, 3.2″ touchscreen.  This is very similar in overall hardware to that of the HTC Hero, and my guess is that it will perform equally.  This also means, Android 2.0 will eventually make it’s way onto the device.  HTC is working that right now.

    I like the trackball, however I heard that the processor on this Droid phone is slower than the Motorola Droid.

    This Android uses a Qualcomm MSM7200 running at 528Mhz, like most of the other Android phones on the market today. True it’s slower than Motorola’s Droid, it’s not terribly slow. Hopefully, HTC will have Android 2.0 on this phone soon too. Let’s hope Android 2.0 is faster and not slower than 1.6.

    I tried the HTC that T-Mobile release and the phone was pretty fast, so I bet Motorola one flies!
