Verizon Droid » Engadget http://verizon-droid.com All about Verizon Droid (Motorola Droid, HTC Eris Droid) Sat, 17 Jul 2010 17:12:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 HTC Droid Eris priced at $99 for Verizon [source: Engadget] http://verizon-droid.com/htc-droid-eris-priced-99-verizon-source-engadget/ http://verizon-droid.com/htc-droid-eris-priced-99-verizon-source-engadget/#comments Thu, 29 Oct 2009 02:01:14 +0000 admin http://verizon-droid.com/?p=126 Verizon has the HTC Droid Eris in the pipe too, which is shaping up to be little more than a branded Hero in a slightly different shell. It’s looking like Verizon is going to be pursuing an aggressive tiered pricing strategy that might allow these phones to coexist in peace and everlasting harmony: unlike the DROID’s $199 sticker, gdgt has it on good authority that the Droid Eris will run a hundie less at $99.

Following a source speaking to Phone Scoop that says all Android-based phones at Verizon will carry the “Droid” name as a brand, gdgt has posted a page for the phone that suggests it will be called the Droid Eris based on the Greek goddess of discord and get an all-black color scheme not unlike the Motorola Droid. The phone is already known to be a touch-only model with a trackball as a backup control and should bring a 5-megapixel camera.
Other details surfacing this evening appear to narrow down both the Droid Eris’ launch as well as some of Verizon’s overall plans. A tip to Engadget claims that the Motorola phone may just be known as the Droid and that the planned October 28th unveiling will just center on that device. HTC’s handset would arrive in a lower-profile release and would start shipping on November 6th.

The positioning would all but see Verizon wrest the title of top Android carrier away from T-Mobile and make it both the most direct rival to Apple and AT&T as well as the chief proponent of open mobile development. Verizon has lately reversed some of its prior attitudes to phone software and has promised not to dictate in a significant way what software Android phones can run.
