Droid Eris has been discontinued, read (Columbus) $140
I work for Verizon marketing, and I can tell you the following. I have posted before so you know I am real and legit.
As of today, the Droid Eris has been discontinued. It will not ever be upgraded to 2.x. We are now just selling out stock, all new orders from us to them are canceled.
Reason (heres your scoop) on 4/29, we are releasing the HTC Incredible, another Android device even more powerful than the Motorola Droid, at the same Eris price point. We also will eventually release the Nexus One, but testing has revealed issues with the phone and no release date is currently available.
So folks, don't be paying a ton of money for a used Eris. They are going to be worth about 100 dollars in a month. Again, we will not be furnishing any sw upgrades to the Eris as enhancements. The only upgrades would be to fix issues that may arise.
Also, it is true... we have received 3 CDMA iPhones for testing right here in Dublin. What does that mean? Well, we've tested phones that have never made it to market. But this surely is a sign that we are up to something with Apple. I have yet to test one myself, but these 3 phones do exist. And to all the posters who say Apple is exclusive to ATT, I can tell you first had that agreement ends on July 1. Only the iPad is exclusive to Apple beyond that point.
There's your Verizon scoop for the month. Sorry for hiding my contact info, but again... I work there and can be fired for releasing this information.
