I'm using a HTC Droid Eris. Anyone else use their phones?

My Droid X will be here in 2 days.

I have a friend getting one in a week. You plan on rooting yours?

Just got my HTC Incredible today. The rooting shall commence tonight.

I use my iPhone 4 every once in a while on GVC

While I use my 'X' to browse when I'm not close to my laptop, I prefer to use my laptop. Swype FTW!

Love using my Droid Eris!

Canceled the order the following morning after reading they would be un-rootable. So, my 2nd choice was going to be the Incredible. Wanted to wait for the order cancellation to go through before I placed a new order. Of course within that time frame (less than a week after release day) the 'X' was rooted. A couple days later the order cancellation finally went through so I re-placed my order for an 'X' for myself, and the Incredible for my wife. Now, I'm just waiting for the official OTA 2.2 update to come out for both phones so I can root them.

I have the Droid Eris also. It has some things I like, and some things I don't. But overall it has been a solid phone. I really miss having the qwerty keyboard (flip out/slide out). I want to get the Moto Droid 2 as soon as possible though.

I recently downloaded PdaNet. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds like a great alternative to routing, etc.

I believe the term you are looking for is a physical keyboard.Quote, originally posted by cebosound »I recently downloaded PdaNet.

You can also overclock most phones, get rid of the bloatware, and run custom roms.

Your Right SammedNiss. I meant physical qwerty key board. Or hardware qwerty key board. I thought I could get over it with having the virtual keyboard on the droid... but honestly I can't, I miss the real thing.

I'm anxiously awaiting delivery of my Droid X. It should be here any minute.........Can someone give me more info on rooting the phone? Pros and cons?

You totally have unlimited control with your phone. But still I don't see WHAT exactly you can do with it All I DO know is that once rooted, you can use the wifi tether and use the signal from your phone to get internet on your laptop wherever you go, but I heard Verizon's "Unlimited" data plan actually does have a limit

Still waiting...Fed Ex is only 5 hours late now.

dang They always deliver to 1465 uo the road when my house number is 1565I hate fedex!

Posting from a Droid 2. This phone is sweet

Finally showed up. Now to figure this thing out.

Box has been opened...first post from my Droid (still have no idea how to use it).

Quote, originally posted by A Psycho Martyr »I heard Verizon's "Unlimited" data plan actually does have a limit If they do, I have yet to find it. I use to tether to my laptop from my BB all the time. Never once hit a limit.Quote, originally posted by ou.grizzly »I am still using my BB and the internet browsing is less than desirable. That's the main reason my wife and I upgraded from the Curve. For being a "smart" phone, it's pretty pathetic when it came to doing anything on it. The ONLY thing I miss from my BB is the BBM.

NO! My Droid (which I am posting from), has been declared DOA.
