HTC Droid Eris / User Reviews

This phone is amazing.Never ever crashes and the internet loads wonderfully.The touchscreen is amazing and although on most phones texting is a chore on all touchscreens on this phone,texting is a breeze.Easy to use only took me about two days to understand how to use it fluently (although as I went... More

This phone is like a slow computer that frustrates you to no end. Everything takes several seconds to load, and often seems frozen.

This phone is ok, but I really miss my blackberry. I don't think the touch screen phone is for me. However overall it is a good phone with lots of interesting apps to play with.

I've owned this phone for about two weeks and am still getting to know it. Lots of good things about it. Love the Google sky map app! This is my first smart phone; my previous one was a Dare, so I'm not an early adopter. But I'm technically proficient -- use Linux, program in C, all... More

This HTC desire seems different than the one Telus is selling.

The device is different, even the specs are different. What does that mean?

Firstly, I would like to say that Droid is up and coming and getting better all the time. With that said, you can tell this phone is a prototype, used as a template to test out the Droid capabilities, but leaves you wanting more. There are several issues with this phone that have not only been verified... More

I have had my Eris about 6 weeks. I have just fallen in love with my phone. It has taken me a while to get to know it but as I discover another capability, I just get amazed. I love how it is so integrated with google. I just spent 4 days out in the country w/no access to the internet except through... More

After having this phone for several months I was ready to throw it out in the street. Even after upgrading to 2.1 it was still laggy. I was constantly sending cryptic emails to friends because of the auto correct. Perhaps the most annoying thing about the phone was its behavior whenever I attempted... More

First of all, I'd like to say that I love the Android software. I loved most of this phone immediately after getting it. I would replace this phone with the incredible in a heart beat if I could afford to.

The short battery life is what frustrates me the most. I attend school in an extended service... More

Would have been a very nice phone...however slow and laggy leads to irritating - will be returning after about 2 weeks of use.

I still currently use this phone. Variety of apps is great, I love the integration with Google, but that's about where my love for this phone stop. Here are my biggest complaints:

1. Response time. I can select an option and the phone will not do anything for at least 10 seconds. Thinking my first... More

Avoid this phone. Get a newer one with more powerful processor. The processor speed is too slow, which leads to many many problems such as slow response time to do anything. Android OS is still not very mature, and it has some weird behaviors that makes you think why did they do it this way, but the... More

I got my HTC Eris when it was only available with the 1.5 Droid operating system. Like, with any new electronic device, it took awhile to get use to all the menus and features - and I am still learning about different things - but I am amazed how much power they have put in one small device. And now,... More

I have had the phone for 3 months. I did download the new operating system and it seems to make the phone work faster. I am not a power user, but find that the phone does a lot of little things very well. I mostly use it to check email, news, sports scores as well as the usual cell phone usage. The... More

Pro: Runs Android - great OS. Finally got 2.1 upgrade (although buggy).

Con: Sloooowwwwwww. Pocket dials everyone all the time. Difficult to use as a phone.

Using experience: 5 months

Remember when you could call people on your mobile phone? I miss those days. Eris is so doggy slow the phone app delays... More

I love everything about this phone. The only problem I have, and it seems its quite a common one, is the battery life. There are apps on the droid market that help reduce background program use and increases your battery life, so I'm looking into these. I really like the size of this phone, which... More

I can't believe I got this! I absolutely HATE it! No user manual and I can't even make a phone call then hang up! theytold me it was so easy to use, now I'm stuck with a phone I can't even use!!!
Oh yes, Facebook wouldn't work on it either! It constaqnly said the site was... More

What can I say about the suckfest that is the HTC Droid Eris?

If you expect to get a signal... forget it, I don't think there's an antenna.

If you want to send a text/sms message to just one person... forget it, I've singled out a recipient and it's gone to someone completely... More

First off the phone is great. After many reviews I decided on this phone and could not be happier with it.

Second, I found it here on Amazon for a penny. Really? a Penny? where's the catch. Sure its a 2 year renewal, but Verizon is asking 79.99 for a 2 year renewal.

After reviewing Amazon's... More

Pro: Nothing

Con: Screen rolls constantly
gmail doesnt work, you tube doesnt work
not a business users phone

Using experience: 30 days

Absolutely the worst phone I've ever used. Nothing but a crazy confusing environment.

Rather have windows mobile or blackberry
