Can Android 2.1 work for the Eris

The only thing nagging me is if the guy got the update this morning and had problems why did he wait until this afternoon to come here or call HTC? Also, if he was already talking to tech support, what did expect us to be able to do that they couldn't?
 
Hey, look at it this way, Engadget did us a favor. They rotated the image I posted and now we don't have to turn our heads! :P

I swear I was going to do it, but then I got all excited, giddy and lazy.
 
Well, it's certainly possible that some of these reports are from people who don't have lives and just enjoy messing with people. Not saying anything in specific terms, but we all know it's happened before ... this IS the Internet, after all.
 
In looking at my phone's about menu, I noticed something interesting. My phone says "software version" whereas the screenshot of the phone in the picture says "software number"...could it be photoshopped?

Every call center (help-less-desk) I've spoken too about anything tech related is, "make sure the computers plugged in" type of crap.

I find forums/enthusiasts to know alot more about the phone then anyone in a call center or found behind the desk at your local verizon store.

i video was posted in the Eris to 2.X to when forum. Its not just a picture now, theres a video.
 
true that a video was posted, but it looked pretty grainy and hard to see what was going on. And from what I have read, the OTA did not include sense.

Oh well, patiently waiting.....
 
the vid was the real deal

there are most certainly erii floating around with 2.1 on them, but not consumer erii, and they didnt get that way from a ota update.
 
His best bet is to take it to a VZW store and have them reload 1.5 since 2.1 isn't supported in the wild.
 
If you mean check in it's #*#*checkin*#*# .. the thread was bumped for this... so-called update. lol.. etc.. :rolleyes:
 
Yea i dont think that its been released to the public because there would be a forum of happy eris owners saying how cool it was and what fixes it provided but maybe they are evil and dont wan to tell us anything and make us suffer and not get no sleep just staying up googling for the 2.1RUU
 
I see that pic of the Eris with 2.1, but I'm a little curious, aren't those the wrong icons on top for 2.1?? Should they be the new style like on the Droid and the N1??
