HTC Droid Eris Review

Today we’re going to take a look at the HTC Droid Eris For Verizon Wireless. Upon first handling this device it is slightly heavier than non-QWERTY keyboard droids with a thicker design and softer rubberized like finish covering it. It makes it feel a bit tougher, like it can bounce if you drop it, though I wouldn’t suggest doing that with any phone. It has a medium sized touch screen display at 3.2 inches but what separates this droid from others is the jog ball below the screen for easy navigation. If you’re used to how your old blackberry may have navigated this may be the best transition if you thinking of moving over to droids. On the top we find the headphone jack while on the left we have the volume controls. On the back we find the 5MP camera and the USB power port on the bottom.

Being a droid phone it touts most of the features you’ll find on every other Android. Free Google turn by turn navigation, tons of apps and a slick interface. The camera comes in nice and clear at 5MP. The track ball is a nice feature for those more familiar with that kind of navigation. It can go 17 days on a full charge on standby or just over 5 hours on constant voice. It has Bluetooth capabilities like most droids as well.

The HTC Droid Eris for Verizon Wireless is a phone that feels a bit tougher and has a much friendlier navigation for those making the jump from blackberry to droids. If you’re looking for an android phone with tons of apps, a nice camera and jog ball interface control… this is the only phone for you really. You can buy this phone and many others at thebluedot.net as well as trade in your old and used phones at thebluedot.net/tradein
