HTC Droid Eris Reviews
Pocket-Lint reviews the HTC Droid Eris and writes;
“That trackball is very responsive, not that you’ll find yourself using it that much. Why not? Because the touchscreen above is excellent. The screen measures 3.2 inches and that means that it’s big enough to do most things with. Compared to other smartphones on the market it is slightly larger than the Palm Pre’s 3.1-inch screen and slightly smaller than the iPhone’s 3.5-inch screen. Either way the smaller haptic-enabled screen means a more compact phone that won’t take up as much space in your pocket, but one that is still very usable… ”

“For the average smartphone user who wants to stay connected with friends and family, as well as surf the web and watch videos, the HTC Hero for Sprint and the DROID Eris for Verizon are fantastic. Even without hardware keyboards, they are super easy to use and offer a slick and truly enjoyable user experience. ”
LaptopMag reviews the HTC Droid Eris and writes;
“…using the older version of Google Maps, the Eris accurately pinpointed our location outside our Manhattan office almost immediately. It took about two seconds for the app to create a route to our home, though the directions aren’t spoken. The app also gave us the correct subway lines to take. ”

CNET reviews the HTC Droid Eris and writes;
“The good: The HTC Droid Eris offers a slim design, plentiful features, and satisfying performance. It also has pinch and zoom multitouch. The bad: The HTC Droid Eris has mixed multimedia quality. It comes only with the Android 1.5 OS, there’s no file manager, and internal performance was occasionally sluggish”

PC World reviews the HTC Droid Eris and writes;
“While the unit can’t match the Motorola Droid’s 420-by-854-pixel display, the HTC Droid Eris performed well with standard and high-definition YouTube videos, depending on the quality of the data connection.”

HTC Droid Eris User Reviews
Great functionality and sleek interface by J.Hartlove
Rating:
“The phone does everything you could ever want with a very large app store and overall beautiful interface. The only 2 negative notes on the HTC Droid Eris would be that it could have a slightly faster processor and the battery life isn’t exactly the best. When it comes to the comparison between the Motorola Droid and the HTC Droid Eris, the operating system shouldn’t be a major concern because HTC does plan to offer a free upgrade to Android 2.0…”
Excellent phone for the money by Chad Adam

“…I am extremely impressed with the ease of use with this phone, being able to use widget’s to display information is an excellent tool to have. I can check my email, remotely control my desktop, or use the phone as a free modem. All using apps within the Android Market, and all for free…”
