Post All Eris 2.1 Update Rumors, News, and Updates HERE

Chuck, there are at least 3 android phones coming to VZW including the N1. I'd advise to wait and see what else is being released before making up your mind.

Yeah, I already feel like crap ever since I heard the desire was coming out, sounds like the perfect phone to me.
 
you know at this point, i'm really wondering why it takes so long to test on the vzw network, if the desire has 2.1 with sense, why can't the eris have it now?

Great point so I'll take the conspiracy route: It's been a mental roller coaster for me as well as many others. I got the phone, fell in love. Then, all the talks about the anticipated but never received update. Speculations from whether the Eris hardware could support 2.0/2.1 to what dates said update was coming.

gbhil has confirmed that his cooked ROM is working on his rooted Spring Hero and that we will fall in love all over again with the Eris. So, why the wait?

They want us to dump the Eris to get latest and greatest. :rolleyes:
 
Remember that VZW is a private shared business. Priority 1 is to increase shareholder value. They'll continue to support the devices, just as long as its still profitable.

uh huh, so lets hope they won't market the phone and then dump it less than a year later like they did with the storm1

I don't get it, the hero is the same right? essentially the same or minus the facelift, EXACTLY the same underneath?

if the latter, why can't we use the ROM? I know, i know, eris isn't rooted yet, but if the hero is, again, why can't it be rooted if they are the same?

Not sure... could be since the Hero came out first, what ever known exploit that led to it being rooted was patched when the Eris was released?

That sounds plausible. I'm pretty sure VZW reworked some of the kinks out of the system before they released it. Still makes me wonder, if does get rooted, we'd already have 2.1 with sense, right? HTC doesn't make different OS based on the phones, do they? Or does a sense android OS work on all HTC android phones?

It makes us feel better and passes the time
 
i think im going to wait as long as i can or a new phone comes out with 2.1 and sense for verizon. though the incredible red back looks kinda gay no offense
 
We'll also dispatch a representative to come to your house and give you a SKITN as punishment for leaving the fold.

And take your new phone and throw it and runit over with a truck and incinerate it the bury the ashes and take your $$$ and burn your house jk*:D
 
Hey how much is first hand, exclusive eris update info worth to you? Or maybe a zip of the install file for an approved OS leaked early?

I don't have anything, just a theoretical question to spawn discussion while we wait?
