even though i'm getting the incredible in 2yrs when they produce a few, i think the eris is just fine. hell, i was in the local store tonight and they still have env2's, 3's, touch's and other model T's. still don't get why they eol'd the eris. i mean, h/w wise and all, the ally is no better. i have a feeling htc is the one pushing(or have pushed it) off the shelves. maybe htc just wants to be regarded as the very high end phone manufacturer. i mean, my daughter had a broken env touch that she refused to get rid of. i showed her the eris and she forgot all about her beloved touch. then my other daughter jumped in too when she saw it. got them for free, so why not. they were well over the new 25mb limit anyway, so they might as well have a more worthy phone if im gonna pay for the data anyway.
point is, everything being relative, its not eol'd to most people that have touched one. just a business decision by idiots with power. so i'm with most here, just keep liking it. when your new every 2 comes, grab an incredible. they might be shipping some by then.
