Just an FYI, you're probably looking at less that $100 to cancel by now.

 

That would be sweet. I'll check tomorrow. I was a fan of ATT a long time ago but not anymore. Plus there is still a line to get on my parents family plan so I'm hoping to do that, which will save money. I think.

 

OK. So I am a newbie with these smartphones. When I download a PDF how do I get to it? I downloaded the manual for my Droid and now I can't find it?

 

I've been using my Eris now for about 2 weeks. I really like it. It's sometimes a pita with the touch screen and my big thumbs but I can deal with it. I also need to work on extending the battery life.

 

Found one thing I don't like about the Droid Eris. The Bluetooth volume is not loud enough. It's a bit week when I'm driving. It's not bad if I'm just at my desk, but the road noise makes it difficult to hear everything.

 

I wish the eris would be upgraded to 2.0 by now already

 

swype is installed and is pretty cool. Did a hard reset of the phone and the wireless is now working...

 

How did you get swype, and when is android 2.0 coming to eris?

Doesn't work on Eris yet.

Takes some getting used to, but when it works, it works better then the old keyboard and Iphone.

Figured out the wireless issue. If bluetooth is on, the wireless breaks (speed goes to nothing), I don't need bluetooth now, but Im going to call Verizon and Moto to tell them.

With my issue basically fixed and swype working, I really like the phone now. I put on the FIOS DVR program on it and TV.com and love them.

 

^^ My Droid is on the fedex truck for delivery, should have it around 2pm

 

Still really liking the droid after a couple months. Battery life is good, camera is somewhat better after software update, the reception is the best I have ever had on a phone, and the other day I was using it for GPS, when I got to where I was going a picture of the place popped up. Google street view FTW.

 

First post from the Droid. Digging it. The display is great. Huge improvement over my moto q9c. I like the virtual keyboard in landscape mode.

 

Still some issues, such as getting a PDF or Wav file to play from e-mails....

However, some good torrents out there

 

anymore updates? I think I'm going to order an Eris tomorrow, since they're only 79.99 online with 2 year upgrade!

 

Still love my eris, but antsy for 2.1

 

reports of further delays for 2.1.

 

Verizon can never get anything right

 

I just ordered mine this morning. Should be here sometime friday.

 

Just got the droid and loving it, blows my previous bb bold out of the water.

 

Android can't open .eml files as an attachment if someone forwards you another email conversation.

 

This thing is awesome! Just got it in the mail this morning, my dog started barking, so I bolted up stairs in order to avoid having to wait another day for delivery and greeted the mailman in nothing but boxers and bed head, he looked pretty surprised... oh well, I got my Eris and that's what matters.

So far, I'm very please with this phone. The touch screen keyboard isn't half as bad as I thought it would, I still definitely need to find a good working swipe program for the keys though.

Already got a few cool apps. There is one called "Alice" it imports your artists from your Last.FM account and will send you notifications when your favorite artists are touring close to your area, it is pretty darn neat.

 

This is a topic of much discussion, the email client in general blows.

If willing to pay, Touchdown solves most of the problems.

 

Just an update on the Eris and 2.1 Update

It is almost here for us Eris Owners!

Some beta testers have been leaking video's running Android 2.1 and the new features

Here is one of the Video's

Hopefully the update will happen within 2 weeks, but it is anyone's guess

 

Yeah, and it also allows peak time schedules. I miss that feature as well.

 

Touchdown can be good, but its slow and buggy...I removed it...

 

Really? It runs great on my Nexus.

 

off topic, but I finally rooted my DROID on Bugless Beast v1.1 running at 1.2ghz, and this thing FLIES! I love Android

 

My only complaint is still the bluetooth volume. Any fixes for that yet?

 

where did you get the steps on how to root your phone and get the bugless beast?

thanks alot^^

 

2.1 beta has leaked..you can put it on your eris but its buggy ive heard..still waiting

 

my browser if messed up... It stays just a blank white screen no matter where I go. I tried downloading opera mini, but that blows too and doesn't work nearly as well as the default browser... any suggestions?

 

did you try clearing everything (cache, cookies, history) and rebooting?

 

How do I reboot? I did clear the coockies, cache and history though

 

go into settings-->manage applications-->filter by all applications-->select browser-->select clear data.

 

Thanks! That solved the problem
