Verizon's Android BOGO flier shows up, Droid Eris only free option

So the good news here is that Verizon's rumored buy-one-get-one-free deal on its Android line this weekend is shaping up to be legit -- the bad news, though, is that the most expensive (and probably most desirable) option is getting left out in the cold. Well, that's not quite true -- you'll still be able to take part in the offer if you buy a Droid, but for your free phone on the second line, you'll be stuck with a Droid Eris from HTC -- a phone that normally runs $100 instead of the Droid's $200. Of course, the Droid Eris is still a great little device, and as for Verizon, don't worry about them -- they'll get their money back. Trust us.

You can get it for $30, so over 24 months, you're saving $1.25 per month.

Hmm, weird. Wal-mart upped the price??

In my opinion, the eris is the better device anyways.
For one, it has in browser flash lite support, as well as HTC sense.
The droid has the same old boring android ui, and no flash support what so ever.

What does this say about desirability rate?

Hey Chris, I know you were probably in a hurry typing this up but you missed the "s" in "mot."

"(and probably mot desirable)"

Happy Days
