As a former Eris owner, I just wanted to stop by and say hi. This was my first Android and I loved it.
I'd also like to advise you guys when you do update your phones, HTC has the best rom communities in most cases. HTC phones typically get the most rom development. If you love the Eris community (which is one of the best in my opinion) , you may want to consider sticking with HTC. With some Androids, they have a very limited selection of roms. coming from an Eris, that may leave you disappointed.

I went to the rezound, they have like 5 droid incredible devs and counting lol its great!
I think the LG Revolution only has 5 roms total if that and it's been out since last May. That's why I came back to let people know so they dont get something like that and regret it.

I counted at least 10 different roms for rezound not countin the aosp, cm9 wip(s)
I am thinking about replacing my Eris after I cracked the screen when it fell out of my pocket during a traffic stop (no one got a ticket). I hate contracts and don't want to to pay big money (over 150) on a phone. So that leaves me in the used phone arena.
I would want a phone with lots of support from this type of group and one with 4g speed. So my question is what would yall recommend? Or do I just bite the bullet and be locked in with Verizon for another two years?

Go to Craigslist and look for an Android. I.see the thunderbolt always sselling for around $200 used on there (little more than the 150 you want, but no 2 year contract). That will also give you a phone with a good rom development community. Trust me, it has one of the best rom.development communities of the 4g phones on Verizon.

Don't get.the LG.revolution. it only has one real rom. While it has an unlocked bootloader, there are phones out there.with locked bootloaders that have more roms developed for them.

Thanks for the info!
Just sold my two Erises on CL, coudln't have made it this long without gingershedbread from workshed. I went with Evo, another family member went with Optimus. I must say I have a hard time recommending any LG phone. The optimus is speedy but almost no support for it at all though there is a CM7 version that has been ported, thank goodness for that. But I agree with what has been said about htc phones and forums, lots of support. Good luck!
I decided to go with the HTC Thunderbolt. Now to figure out which Rom to flash it with. The even bigger question is do I give my Eris to my daughter or do I keep it to play with?
It was really tough replacing my Eris! : )
Again thanks to all who have contributated to the development of the roms. It is greatly appreciated.
The thunderbolt has plenty of roms to play with. Let your daughter experience the wonders of android.
I hope I helped you choose a phone that you will love and not one you will kick yourself in the ass everyday over (like I did with the LG revolution). While I like Motorola because of the battery life and the quality of production, HTC is where it's at for roms. My love for Android began with the Eris and I hope I can help anyone who still has it, pick an upgrade that they will also love.

I see your using the bionic. What is the rom situation like for that phone?
Sent from my ERIS using xda premium
It has good roms but small selection. I don't recommend it if you want to play with several different roms. If you want to stick to 1 or 2, its a good phone.
Many of the developers have moved on to the nexus. I suspect that development will pick up some when Motorola releases ICS. We have an alpha version coming along.
While it's a very good phone, it didn't live up to it's hype. It was released with some problems that it shouldn't have had after being delayed for as long as it was.

The touchscreen was going bad in my Eris back in April. I guess it was losing it's sensitivity. I dealt with it for a few weeks but I was stuck in my contract until Nov. So I found a new digitizer online for $37 and a phone tear down and digitizer install video on youtube. For the tech savvy people like myself (I'm an engineer) it was the easiest and best way to get more life out of my Eris when I wasn't eligible for a phone upgrade and didn't want to pay full price for a new one.
Just another option for you.
Eris Upgrade

I got the ReZound, also and I love it but not as much as my Eris which recently kicked the bucket I must return to fixing that Eris now!
Ta-ta for now my friends!
Got my Eris launch weekend in Nov 09. and had it rooted and running smooth which kept me from using my upgrade until I cracked my screen last month...so it was either a 99 asuriun deductible or a Rezound on sale for 99 online.. guess which choice I made?

I am on my 4th replacement Eris (trackball issues, and charging port issues). It's mint, and I take good care of it, so it's not that I am abusing it by any means, but my charging/usb port is on its way out. I've had to exchange 2 others because of the well known trackball issues.
So, Verizon has offered me early upgrade pricing on any phone of my choice! Question is, which one is closest to my Eris (size) and feel. When the Eris came out, I admit, I liked the way it looked, and felt compare to the Droid 1.
Of course, I rooted it, since there is no way I could stand being stuck on 2.1, with Sense. I really want the Nexus S, but I'm on Verizon, and not able to move (company phone). I would prefer the most "google" experience, but if it's an HTC phone with Sense, I can live. I'll probably just root it anyway. So, here are my requirements:
* FAST!! (After having an Eris for so long, I yearn for speed!!)
* Most Vanilla Google like
* "smaller" form factor like the Eris
* Good dev community for rooting (like the Eris)
Actually, now that I think of it, my requirement for being Vanilla, is not really a requirement, since I can always root it
Here are some of the phones I have thought about:
* DINC (but, should I go for something even faster, or wait?)
* Samsung Facinate
* Droid 2 Global (don't really like the form factor, but 1.2Ghz is nice!!)
I don't really think there is much choice. Although I am a diehard Mac OS X guy (Mostly because it's Unix), the iPhone just doesn't do it for me anymore. I like Android widgets, and the notifications too much, and the iPhone sucks at those (or doesn't have it)
Any chance of the Nexus S coming to Verizon? I like that the Nexus phones are always on the bleeding edge of Android releases, which is what I really want the most
So, what does everyone recommend? Wait? Get a new phone now? Replace the Eris for the 5th time?
Can you wait out for the vzw Thunderbolt?
Personally I would get another Eris and wait for the new phones to come out. BTW next time, post questions like this in the Q&A or General sections.

J/K...I'd wait for the new LTE phones to come out before getting one. They just leaked that the LTE pricing will be the same 29.99 for unlimited.
dinc is too old now. almost at the end of its life and so is the droid x. Samsung has horrible support as you can see by kaos having to go over to their forums to help them get froyo and its near the end of its life. Most of the fast phones that verizon has have a EOL in march. The d2g is the same processor as the x and d2 but overclocked. i had a x for 29 days and hated it. and that thing ran all day at 1.35. If you can handle the 4.3" screen wait for the thunderbolt. My experience with the x and looking at the rest of verizons going ons has made me realize i am leaving them. I have determined that its time to move to a mobile carrier that has similar views that i do in how handsets should be ran. That is why i am switching to tmobile and getting the G2. Tmobile is owned by a german company and for some reason the Europeans seem to be more accepting of all things unix. They have a good relationship with google and they have released 4 vanilla pure android phones. no one else has released any that i can think of.
I would get the DINC but only if you can without having to use your upgrade.
Currently on my 7th one, nd verizon has yet to offer me this. Just get the iphone, much more reliable

track ball going out, screen unresponsive, phone restarting randomly... i'm about to be on my third.
The build quality was very uneven on the Eris. Most of the ones people are getting now have already failed in the past and will fail again. If you're on your first one like I am (over 12 months now) count yourself lucky and just ride it out. Unless things change I'll be changing carriers after this contract is up as it is anyway.
Do the verizon trade in credit thing. Eris is worth 132 to verizon. Then buy some used phone online (I recently got a mint droid for 130, I'm pleasantly surprised by how much faster it is over the eris and has a great dev community and super easy to root and is still supported by verizon. For now) and wait till the thunderbolt, bionic, x 2, droid 3, or the Inc 2 comes out and get that and use your promo pricing

Replace it with another Eris; then wait for the Thunderbolt (SVDO) or the Droid Bonic - or jump ship like me and just get an iPhone. *shrug* /2c
I only read your first post and haven't read anyone else's answers. IMHO, Either go for the Incredible or wait for the next HTC Android phone on Verizon, the Incredible's successor, whatever it will be. Shouldn't be too much longer, but I understand it's hard to be patient.

im keeping my eye on the bionic myself. wait it out just a little longer.
So I went swimming with my trusty little Eris last night. He didn't seem to like it too much. So I've got a Thunderbolt in my hand and I've left (albeit not necessarily on purpose) my first love.
Mad thanks to all the devs and themers and basically everybody here who's exponentially smarter than I am. I'm not leaving the Eris entirely since my chick still has hers, so keep up the good work guys and thanks for making the last year.5 a brilliant experience.

i will stick with my eris.
Im hoping I can wait it out until next march time for the new phones lol. With rooting and roms its runs pretty decent

4.3" screen, vs. the Eris' 3.2" To be honest, when I pick up my Eris now it feels so small. I got used to the Bolts size pretty quick - the thickness is about the same. The killer thing for me with the bolt is speed. It is rooted, but I haven't seen the need to overclock. The couple times I did, I didn't really notice much difference. I don't game so take it for what it is worth.
I loved my Eris. I love my Bolt. I will love my new multi-core phone in January when I get another upgrade.

Size is why I got the Eris in the first place, so I definitely hear you on that.
my wife and i just picked up our first smart phones - both erises (erii?) - free from family members. our carrier has given us the option of upgrading early, but we are thrilled with these phones. we're running Workshed's GSB v3.5 and couldn't be happier with it (and these phones). we're in a 4g market, so our next phones will likely have that capability, but i'd like to hold out as long as i can.
having only just joined the eris (for that matter, droid) community, i'm in no rush to jump ship to one of the newest phones available. when i do, though, i imagine it'll be a bit of a sad day
Welcome to the eris! May i also suggest Gin-Sen-Tazz that will reeeeaaallly make you love this phone. I'm so proud of what my eris can do... i literally run a live wallpaper just because i can and cuz this phone was never supposed to be able to. I don't care if kills my battery lol!
Well all... I have not been a active participant in this forum for a few months now but today it is official. Verizon is sending me a Inc2 to replace my Eris, as I have had 6 previous Eris' sent to me for a list of issues. I have rooted, unrooted, and modded my Eris' as much as I could over the past 16 months. I wanted to thank all of you who helped me out in the beginning and those of you I responded to, I hope I helped. Thank you all for the fun and sorry I do not have the phone to donate to keep development going on this great little phone (Verizon wants it back for warr replacement stock).
And to those of you who get your upgrade soon and move on to the Inc2, look me up cause by then I am sure I will be rooted and running lean with sense 3.0!!!!
i too plan on getting a incredible 2, as long as they are cheap come sept. I like the phone a lot and development is really kicking in now that s-off has been released.
I may not be too far behind.
The phone is very nice and the community is growing with a ton of Facinate user switching due to the missed call issue. The only thing right now is that the ginger update is not rootable yet and that is holding back a good chunk of us users at the moment.

I have three weeks to wait. I am looking at the Inc2, but may see what deals they have at that time. My wife has an Inc2 and it seems like a good phone, but she will not let me root it for her. I say my Eris will live on as a Mp3 player & games for my daughter.

If you don't mind, could you briefly say what types of issues you've had with the eris, which led them to replace it for you? I have my original eris from dec '09 and wouldn't mind getting a free upgrade to a Inc2... there may be a donation in your future..
thanks
dang......i had to change accounts and they gave a stupid motorola citrus and ive gone through 5 of em in 3 weeks and they still wont upgrade me to something decent....come next month im hopin for an LG Revolution or TB...but good luck on the Inc2, my mom had the original inc and it was a pretty darn cool phone, so the 2 should be pretty awesome
Oh wow what did not happen to my Eris. I had warranty replacements for:
2 x trackball issue
1 x would lock up if an SD card was mounted to Android
1 x a replacement phone would not vibrate out of the box
And I think there were others too.
I pay monthly for the insurance and extended warranty. With this last replacement I told them that I was completely dissatisfied with the quality of replacement phones in the past 6 months (think I was at 3 replacement phones in six months) and that if they could help me out with the Eris. I was first offered an early upgrade but after telling them I was holding out for the bionic/or a 4G phone with better battery life, they offered me the inc2. Hope this helps you.

Guys, it's been a crappy, amazing, hair pulling experience. The ol' X2 had a shot at being great, but fell greatly short. Thanks to Nitro and Dragonz though, it's been an enjoyable experience. However, I am using an upgrade line from my family's account (screw early termination fees) to upgrade to the S3, and am pre-ordering it tomorrow. I just want to say thanks to everybody for contributing to this forum and phone, and for helping us push along this blur-filled pile. I'll miss you all, but i'm willing to bet more than a couple of you will be joining me in the S3 section. I'll definitely keep stopping back to check on this forum, as I'll still have the X2 to play around with (glorified MP3 player, probably) as I probably couldn't sell it for much (even in good condition). Thanks again guys, it's been a journey!
I might be joining you man...but with Verizon yanking unlimited data from new S3 users and pushing back the release date, I'm almost certain I'm going for the nexus. Congrats!

Im getting the sgs3 as well. But i won't be able to get it untill august. I have no early upgrade and i will be buying it at full price. So hopefully i will get to keep my unlimited data that way.
Since day one this phone has been garbage. I hate this phone. It has so many issues that i can't even keep it as a dedicated mp3 player cause it has issues in this very simple program that my env touch can do with out a hitch and do it better.
This phone is crap and moto knows its crap cause not even ics can make this phone better.
I bought another phone at full price before and it was a feature phone that cost me around $600 so the sgs3 won't be to bad to stomach. Btw the phone i bought at full price was moto razr v2. And that phone had significant problems as well. So 2 phones littered with problems from same manufacturer, means im done with them never buying a moto phone again don't give a damn now that google owns them.

Heck if I had the funds now I'd offer to buy your X2 from you. Though I have a Bionic now I wouldn't mind having another X2 (long story why I don't now). And of the different forums I'd have to say this one is the best. That's why I keep coming back.

Just looked for this device on Verizons website and it said "Available Online Only" meaning two things to me. One, they are selling through their stock. Two, something is coming around the corner, soon. Any speculation? I don't see a One in our future. Maybe another DNA variant?
There have been rumors of a "DNA 2," that's about all anyone knows.

Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 4 Beta
With the moonshine S-OFF coming out, I see the DNA having a pretty long life in the "hardcore" smartphone user scene. It is a top of the line device, with fantastic hardware, and will be competitive for a while still, even with the ONE and speculated "DNA 2" coming out. At least, that is my guess.
EoL of the DNA at this point in time would be a bit weird.... it was release 11/2012 so idk how that would work out. There is already talks about the butterfly 2 and its said to be coming out in third qtr. As soon as that hits the market, we should see our next htc phone on verizon a month after or so.
Verizon may stop selling the device or whatever they choose. But after all the time I've referenced xda and came here I can pretty much guarantee that it is far from the eol on this and many other communities. And I highly doubt HTC will just drop it, I'm sure they saw what happened with Samsung and the s1s when they took forever to update anything.

It would be a shame if Verizon does this but I would think they would start those corney commercials showing the phone as 99.00 down with 2year agreement or something like that - today is my last day to return I think, so I have a lot to consider

I absolutely love the device. I was with Sprint for nine years and finally broke down and switched. We, up until about 3-5 years ago didn't even have a Verizon presence in our state. They still even now only have about 10% of the market here so the LTE here is outstanding. Normally running 15-30 down and the same up. Enough of the history of Verizon in our state. I just picked this phone up several weeks ago when it had that Free coupon on the net. As I said I love the hardware and the software is meh, I would rather be running sense 5 on it, but for now, it is what it is, and with a custom launcher and a few miner tweaks it good for now. I had the very first Evo on Sprint and loved it for the short time I had it. After joining the rooting community though I purchased a Nexus S, followed by a Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7, Nexus 10, and a GS3 that was given to me. So I am very familiar with rooting devices and running custom everything on them. With my life story here now, my main concern is if they do end of life this phone there will not be any more devices going out so Verizon, HTC, and just the dev community will move on. Its a shame. This is a great phone. I have used the One extensively and there is little difference in the phones in the way that they run and I found it strange that everyone, or many people, in the community were pushing to see the One on Verizon. This is the One in many ways, and in several ways better. I think at this point Verizon is looking to ditch this device because of all the whoopla the One is causing and its sad. I don't plan on ditching this phone anytime in the near future either. Its just sad that this phone is so understated. Is it better than the One, no but awfully close. Is it better than the S4, in my personal opinion after spending a week with it, yes. Its definitely better than a good crop of the phones out now even with its age. I think until we hear of a new device to take its place Verizon would be smart to dump a smidge more money and re-advertise for this device dropping the price point to $150-99 on contract and breathe some life back into this device. When I went to switch over to Verizon, and I knew what I was there to get, the sales person mentioned at least three other devices that were no where near the quality of this device. So not only at the corporate level but the floor level this phone needs some love. I'm thinking its to late at this point but i am still glad I picked it up. I'm still happy with it as it is, although I am excited to get it rooted at some point, as this phone has huge potential. I'm not wanting to be the "glass is half empty" guy its just not looking promising at this point for our beloved DNA :'(
The HTC Thunderbolt got a full Android upgrade (2.3 to 4.0) over a year after Verizon stopped selling it, and the Droid Incredible got a maintainance update a few months back I believe. So even when Verizon stops selling it, it won't stop getting support for a while.
Look at what the rezound has pulled off, and in my opinion it was a great device, but nowhere near as nice as the DNA. EOL is as much a frame of mind as anything else in the development community and userbase. I still help out with rezound development and have some close friends and dev partners active so we spend a lot of sleepless nights working on software for users and tools for developers so they're able to offer more. I moved up to the DNA because I wanted too, but didn't leave the rezound behind. There's a lot of guys like me who tend to do that to help drive the spirit of android, and there's also guys who unlike me are true developers making things happen. The DNA is a really nice device and if the development and custom software minded community wants a device to thrive, it will thrive.

The first sign they wanted to phase out the DNA was the Free-with-2year promotion.
With the HTC One still completely unannounced on verizon (and all reps denying it vehemently), I'd have to guess that either HTC doesn't like how vzw handled their marketing or verizon made a yet-unannounced sweetheart deal with someone else. My money'd be on Samsung since verizon is really pimping their products.

I see a lot of DNA's coming up for sale soon.. Mine included !! Depends on the retail cost though..
Definitely got to voice my opinion on this. Had the rezound for a year and a half. For how much I used it, I needed an extended battery but overall. Great device and first really high resolution phone. I just got my DNA and love it. The rezound was lagging since the last update.
I think Verizon dropped the ball on the one. They are putting it out almost 5-6 months after its initial release. That's atrocious. As phone connoisseurs we all know something new will be out soon after that anyway.
I'm sticking with my DNA. I don't see the development dying down after moonshine is released. The one has some small upgrades (most are portable thanks to the people here). And screen size downgrade.
I'll wait for the next nice HTC device to upgrade.

Releasing so late after the other carriers is kind of a stupid move, but honestly if you have vzw and want the one, you're stuck waiting anyways. Or get the gs7 or whatever that Sammy brings out a month after that.

I don't see how its stupid. When the iPhone 4 released on Verizon, they had the fixed bezel around it vs atts 4

I only say its stupid, which is probably not the right word, but its because they're placing a phone out months after its alternate carrier releases, meaning it'll be an older device releasing against newer devices, seems to counter what is normally done, release newer devices against newer devices. I thought I made that point clear, but maybe not, the joke with the gs7 or whatever must not have been clear enough.
