HTC Droid Eris

Description

An interesting piece of news has popped all over the Internet. It looks like the Droid is not just the name of a single phone coming from Verizon but it’s going to be a line of phones. That’s why the Sholes has changed names so abruptly to the Droid. The phone in the picture is supposed to be the HTC Droid Eris also known as the HTC Desire.

The Droid Eris is supposed to arrive on November 6 but evidently we don’t have any pricing for now. We also have to confirm all of these before we get all excited about a new phone line. Because it looks like the Droid might be an Android phone line about to arrive from Verizon.
