That's why the dev's over at XDA had to modify it to get it to the point it's at now. Also when I posted this, they didn't have the update so I was trying to make everyone with a Sprint Hero aware of the development for that device. ]]>Mar 4th 2010 5:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/android-2-1-for-droid-eris-leaks-out-with-updated-sense-in-tow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/android-2-1-for-droid-eris-leaks-out-with-updated-sense-in-tow/Mar 4th 2010 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/android-2-1-for-droid-eris-leaks-out-with-updated-sense-in-tow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/android-2-1-for-droid-eris-leaks-out-with-updated-sense-in-tow/Mar 4th 2010 2:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/android-2-1-for-droid-eris-leaks-out-with-updated-sense-in-tow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/android-2-1-for-droid-eris-leaks-out-with-updated-sense-in-tow/Mar 4th 2010 2:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/android-2-1-for-droid-eris-leaks-out-with-updated-sense-in-tow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/android-2-1-for-droid-eris-leaks-out-with-updated-sense-in-tow/Mar 4th 2010 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/android-2-1-for-droid-eris-leaks-out-with-updated-sense-in-tow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/android-2-1-for-droid-eris-leaks-out-with-updated-sense-in-tow/that is a pen not an antenna :P]]>Mar 4th 2010 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/android-2-1-for-droid-eris-leaks-out-with-updated-sense-in-tow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/android-2-1-for-droid-eris-leaks-out-with-updated-sense-in-tow/

The only program I have found not to run is Google Earth but from what I read, it doesn't work too well on the Moto Droid. Everything else runs as good if not better then before.

DROID > Eris]]>Mar 4th 2010 3:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/android-2-1-for-droid-eris-leaks-out-with-updated-sense-in-tow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/android-2-1-for-droid-eris-leaks-out-with-updated-sense-in-tow/
Dude, no one will contest that the Droid isn't more powerful and more capable than the Eris, even those that own an Eris like me. However, those of us who bought an Eris bought it for reasons such as:

1) Lower price
2) Prettier interface (Sense UI)
3) Nicer looking in general (The Droid is one of the ugliest phones I've ever seen)
4) HTC implements features and apps that just aren't available on stock android or on the marketplace (friendstream, leap, etc.) We had android 2.1 features in Sense running 1.5.

If the Eris had the raw power of the Droid, noone would buy the Droid.]]>Mar 4th 2010 5:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/android-2-1-for-droid-eris-leaks-out-with-updated-sense-in-tow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/android-2-1-for-droid-eris-leaks-out-with-updated-sense-in-tow/
Agreed - and I suspect you'll see a Droid drop off (by the way I hate the Verzion naming scheme) when devices like the Incredible release. Once similar hardware performance is available, a shift will occur.]]>Mar 4th 2010 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/android-2-1-for-droid-eris-leaks-out-with-updated-sense-in-tow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/android-2-1-for-droid-eris-leaks-out-with-updated-sense-in-tow/
Agreed2. I think the reason the Droid has done so well on Verizon is pent up demand for such a phone on that network. Once more are available, they will start to sell on their own merits.
