Droid Eris by HTC with Google
As I type, I’m listening to Engadget editor-in-chief Joshua Topolsky on NPR explaining why the Droid isn’t an iPhone killer. I have to agree, it’s not. But competition is good. And I’m resistant to buying three of those shiny apples for my family!
A friend showed off his Motorolla Droid this afternoon. He’s very happy with it. I’m tempted by the HTC Droid Eris, $100 cheaper than the Motorolla Droid. Sleeker, too. ZDNet says it may be the best $100 smartphone. Check it out:
Meanwhile, Mashable’s got three Verizon holiday ads that mock AT&T and the iPhone:
The new holiday ads from the company tackle AT&T’s (lack of) 3G coverage yet again, in a theme similar to the “there’s a map for that” campaign. It’s possible, however, that Verizon is attacking AT&T rather than the phone itself, essentially saying: nice phone, shame about the coverage.
That emphasis is in the original. My favorite of the 3 ads, the elves…

Being on Sprint, I'm more limited but the HTC Hero looks interesting.
The real problem with what Topolsky was saying about how people will move to the smartphones in that interview is that I think he underestimates how much those expensive data plans will limit adoption.
I agree Jim. It's my hope that the iPhone does come to Verizon and broader adoption means falling prices on those data plans!
