Google Android Reviews from CNET Editors
HTC Droid Eris (Verizon Wireless)The bottom line: Though its performance wasn't completely top-notch and we would prefer a more recent Android OS version, the HTC Droid Eris is a satisfying Android device that offers a nice contrast to the Motorola Droid. And you can't beat the price. |
