don't feed the troll]]>Jun 22nd 2010 10:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/
I would reply to you guys with a slick comment ... but I will just sit back and watch your comments disappear over time... ]]>Jun 22nd 2010 10:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/Maybe they'll have better sales with the next 17 Android phones over the next year.]]>Jun 22nd 2010 10:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/
I can see the jealousy in your eye. Why you ask? Well, there aren't going to be 17 Android phones released in the next year. Also, phone makers see Android as a promising OS hence the reason more Android phones are being made then any other OS. More variety equals more innovation and competition. Sorry Apple.]]>Jun 22nd 2010 10:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/This is the best encarnation of the HTC hero yet...I'm sure there are thousands of units being used right now. Your opinion is therefore irrelevant.]]>Jun 22nd 2010 10:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/
havent seen any android innovation in the past 2 years]]>Jun 22nd 2010 11:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/I beg to differ. I'm sure it's a fine phone, it's just really ugly looking. All of the other Hero designs are much better looking personally.]]>Jun 22nd 2010 11:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/Jun 22nd 2010 11:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/
Both versions of the Hero look better and have more functional physical buttons.]]>Jun 23rd 2010 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/Jun 23rd 2010 7:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/Jun 22nd 2010 9:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/Jun 22nd 2010 9:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/Jun 22nd 2010 9:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/Jun 22nd 2010 9:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/
Droid is just a name licensed from George Lucas. There are Motorola Droids and HTC Droids.

With the Eris leaving... I wonder what HTC will replace it with?]]>Jun 22nd 2010 10:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/
The HTC -Droid- Incredible will replace it. Give it a few months and the specs of the Incredible will look the Eris to you. ]]>Jun 22nd 2010 10:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/
I know about the Incredible... a few of my friends have them.

But what I'm saying is... Motorola will soon have the Droid 2 and the Droid X... and maybe the original Droid for cheap for a while.

HTC will only have the Incredible. I'm wondering if HTC will have a 2nd Android phone soon.]]>Jun 22nd 2010 10:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/
That is all up to Verizon if they want HTC to build another "Droid" phone. Personally, I could care less because I'm not much of a fan of Verizon but HTC does make great android products. ]]>Jun 22nd 2010 10:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/Jun 22nd 2010 10:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/Jun 22nd 2010 10:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/
I meant HTC devices on Verizon... since I called out the Droid 2, Droid X and Droid Incredible by name.

My point is... Verizon seems to be the place for Android phones... and HTC only has one right now.]]>Jun 22nd 2010 10:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/Jun 22nd 2010 11:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/
They have a few others. Heard of the EVO or Nexus One?]]>Jun 23rd 2010 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/Jun 23rd 2010 12:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/

I only knew they were launching it because engadget reported it launched in Singapore, then it launched in the uk and engadget updated the page accordingly. So I stayed up and tipped engadget the very second the page updated.

That, my friends, is geek insanity right there.]]>Jun 22nd 2010 10:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/Stupid camper.

HTC could blow the Droid 2 out of the water by simply taking the Incredible, and slapping a Touch Pro2 QWERTY on it.]]>Jun 22nd 2010 10:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/

HTC Incredible with a Touch Pro2 keyboard?

Sure it doesn't have impressive specs or anything like that, but it was snappy and responsive, wonderful size, great screen.

If you put out a droid Eris that was free on contract i think you would really have something.]]>Jun 22nd 2010 10:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/Jun 22nd 2010 10:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/Jun 22nd 2010 10:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/22/verizons-droid-eris-goes-on-permanent-vacation/

I'm pretty sure the droid 2 has very similar specs to the droid, but with a better keyboard?
