Go with the Droid. That huge screen and keyboard is THE SHIT. The Eris is cool, but the display is a bit smaller. The droid is built like a tank too, metal housing and has a good weight to it. There is not physical qwerty keyboard on the eris, but the virtual onboard keyboard is very accurate and responsive as fuck. I have had a smartphone for 3 years now and I would never go back to a regular phone.
