    Win another Droid Incredible from Android Central! (contest)

    I currently am using the eris-- and sadly, it has been disappointing me a lot. Still on 1.5 and so many of the apps I love and use are leaving 1.5 support :( I would love an Incredible and would love to stay with verizon!

    4G on Verizon ??

    I wonder if 4G will improve spelling. ;oD I don't think the Eris is capable of doing 4G-- but perhaps it is as simple as a software tweak. But if I'm not mistaken, I read once that though a system might be 4G, other versions will still work-- or at least 3G. Thankfully, our phones cycle...

    Gmote for HTC Droid Eris

    I have...works well. Although I just used it on my computer, in my next place I hope to set things up so that my network drive can play things on the tv. We'll see if that ever happens-- though the house is amazing and I got it at a freaking low price, it still need TLC.... Love costs money...

    Dazzboard

    I hated it. I uninstalled already. Buggy is putting it mildly. Although, in their defense, I am on a lenovo laptop here at work-- those machines s..ss..s.s.sssuck.

    GPS was horrible on east coast

    Tux that is a very good point. I work in the navigation industry (aviation only, though) and can say at least from my perspective this is a plausible explanation. I don't know what google earth, or maps or any other ground-focused navigation system uses but at least the highways in the sky are...

    GPS was horrible on east coast

    Colorado is awesome and the East stinks? Ryan, Colorado resident, former east coaster Sorry that happened to you. Similar happened to me as well when I went back to visit my family in Pennsylvania. I was a brand new user to the phone and my mistake was not making sure the GPS was on. I...

    I'm Making my Smart Phone... Dumb

    This is a half-joking, half-serious post. but... When tapping out an email or address or really anything involving words and I hit the wrong keys, my Eris kindly suggests a few words that I may have meant to type out originally. Usually it is just my clumsy thumbs doing the poor work...

    Eris hanging big time today

    Installed apps? hehe yeah all the time. But my wife hasn't. She's not as "into" the phone as I am. I noticed the lag when I got a call and no matter what I did the phone just sat there and let the caller go to voicemail eventually. It never even rang! And then when I finally got it to...

    Eris hanging big time today

    Is anyone else on Verizon and using the Eris having some serious lag in their phone's operation today? I don't know if a Verizon network issue would cause such slowing of the device but my wife is having the same issues. *grumble grumble* Its enough to throw the *censored* thing threw a...

    Missing Contacts

    Long story short, I had to walk to the end of a long driveway this weekend to shovel out my wife's car, which could not make it through the 3-4 foot snow drifts that developed over the weekend. We have a 5 mo/old and didn't want her to be out in the wind and cold until the car was warm and...
