Could that "reality" be a mass sent message to all Eris users inviting us to purchase one of those three new phones? Perhaps with a clickable link for a substantial discount?
etc..FWIW, the update IS a reality... for the testers. Once they run through the test period it'll be rolled out to consumers.

That article sounds like VZW will have the opportunity to spend time further tweaking (gimping) the update before they push it OTA. At least I'm sure we'll get full Goog Nav since they let the Droid have it. I wish they could just give us all the new features, and trust users to disable, for example, animated wallpapers if the battery drain is too great. Of course, trusting users is probably not a good business plan. A new crowd of Eris users bitching about terrible battery life after the update would be pretty much guaranteed.

Hoping Verizon doesn't strip down the upgrade too much for the Eris. Just want Google Nav--all the other eye-candy stuff doesn't matter to me. (Pinch for homescreens? Why not just swipe to the one you need?) Seems like battery drain is a big issue with the new OS so anyone hoping for improvements in that area will probably be disappointed.
Google Nav is there, along with the new Leap feature. Not sure about animated wallpapers, but do you REALLY want them??? I'd take the performance/application upgrades over a little eye candy any day...

I see that they have postponed Hero's 2.1 update until early Q2. Will that mean the Eris' update will be postponed also? Android Central | Android Central

Fancy way of switching screens...
Well, I would say since it's been released for testing it shouldn't be more than a couple weeks. That means they can push the OTA before the end of the first quarter.
looks NICE
Supposedly runs well on the Eris. Kinda works like the N1's screen switcher I guess.

the screen switcher is cool, but the soc net aggregator gets my interest a little more.
one thing i REALLY MISS about my BB Storm is the universal message box. if setup right i could get my emails (from all inboxes), sms, mms, fb updates, twitter updates, etc, all in one big box, so easy and neat.

See, that was one of the things I didn't like about BB. Messages got all jumbled together. I heard that in BB 5.0 you could filter the inbox a little at least.

The Eris will be getting updated to 2.1 within a couple weeks. The software was just released to the testers. I'll see what I can find out about feature wise.
Do you have a link to this info so I can follow it?
Unfortunately no. But I will try and update with info as I get it.

Word of mouth. Someone I know is a nut tester.

On Verizon?
Something is very, very sushi there.
Once in a while you hear about some guy who got cable TV and get's billed $1/month. Hard to complain about anything at that rate.
That was available in bb 4.x, just had to set the option in whatever app you were running NOT to add to the main Message box.
I'm still learning android but I would love to see this added, one icon for everything worked great on my personal phone.
Ahhhh, I learn that now that I don't have a BB
I'll see if there's a unified inbox (not counting on it though).
