It was rumored, but now we might have some more solid info. Leaked documents that explain the Droid Eris will be available Nov 6th at $99. Again, this Android phone has almost identical specs to that of the Hero for Sprint. It’s got a standard 528Mhz Qualcomm processor, 320×480 screen and like Sprint’s Hero Android 1.5. Again, we’ve already heard from HTC themself that they have Android 2.0 in the house and they are working to get it on Hero’s soon, so I imagine this will include the Eris as it also sports the Sense UI. What is interesting is the fact Verizon has not seen fit to even announce this phone yet, because they feel the Motorola Droid is the more important phone while the Eris is almost like a secondary little brother. Of course, $99 for an Eris versus $180 for the Hero makes an interesting case, but the cost of service between Sprint and Verizon should be considered too.
