The HTC Droid Eris has a simpler, slimmer design with a solid constructed design. It measures 2.2 x 0.5 x 4.4 in (WxDxH) and 4.2 oz weight. HTC Droid Eris has a proximity sensor, which is now the screen will turn off when we’re on a phone call to prevent any accidental misdials from a brush of our cheek. The 3.2 in HVGA capacitive touch screen display supported by 320×480-pixel resolution and a built in accelerometer. The accelerometer only works in certain applications, such as photos, the Web browser, and e-mail.

The Droid Eris uses HTC virtual keyboard which is made with big buttons, white background, and comfortable space between keys, particularly in landscape mode. The virtual keyboard is responsive and provides haptic feedback. The touch screen is responsive enough, such as responding the tapping, scrolling, or even swiping. The physical controls are a Talk and End/power keys and a trackball navigator Three touch controls below the display are used for the main menu, a home screen customization menu, and the calling menu. The four navigation buttons are for Home, Menu, Back, and Zoom.

HTC added a feature called Scenes which provides some themes for the phone such as work, play, or travel. Each scene provides seven customizable panels so there are plenty of ways to make the phone personal to our lifestyle. There is 3.5mm headphone jack on top, a volume rocker on the left side, and a Mini-USB port/power connector on the bottom. The camera is located on the back, and the microSD expansion slot placed behind the battery door on the right side.

The Droid Eris offers plenty useful features, such as Bluetooth, voice dialing, Verizon visual voice mail, a calculator, a calendar, a speakerphone an alarm clock, Wi-Fi, PC syncing, USB mass storage, and a voice recorder. The Eris also has access to the full set of Google applications like Google Maps, YouTube, Google Calendar, Google search (with voice), and Google Talk.

Messaging and e-mail options are plentiful, such as the standard Gmail syncing, popular POP3 accounts like Yahoo and Hotmail, and corporate mail, calendar, and contacts with Microsoft Exchange Active Sync. With QuickOffice and a PDF viewer, the Droid Eris’ attachment support is robust as well. The Droid Eris doesn’t have a unified in-box, but multiple account in-boxes are grouped under the same main menu icon.

The phone book app offers syncing our contacts directly with our Exchange account and with Facebook and Flickr. We can compose a list of favorite friends and see a list of upcoming Facebook events. The Droid Eris’ contact management system will automatically pull and import contact information from e-mail accounts and social networks into our address book. The Droid Eris also offers other apps like stocks and weather feeds, a Teeter game that uses the phone’s accelerometer, and a Twitter app called Peep. The Droid Eris offers 512MB ROM and 288MB RAM, but we can store photos and music files on the microSD card.

The Droid Eris’s browser has Flash Lite support. We can open multiple windows and it supports visual bookmarks, copy/paste, and the capability to share sites via e-mail, text message, Facebook, or Twitter. Unfortunately we don’t have simple access to do basic browser navigation such as Back and Forward, so we have to bring up the browser menu.

The Droid Eris has a 5-megapixel lens and offers video-recording capabilities and geotagging through the HTC Footprints app. This Eris equipped with plentiful editing options, such as four image resolution sizes, four white-balance settings, a brightness meter, spot metering, a digital zoom, a self-timer, autofocus, a flicker adjustment, four ISO settings, three color effects, and more.

The camcorder shoots clips with sound and offers a similar set of editing options. The clip lengths start from 30 seconds to as long as the available memory will permit. The Eris has a strange setting for the camera button. We should use the trackball instead of the camera button on the side of the device like other cell phones. This Eris lacks photo quality, very disappointing. Colors were dull and there was visible image noise.

The music player supports MP3, AAC, AMR-NB, WAV, MIDI, and Windows Media Audio 9 format and includes shuffle, repeat, and playlists. Call quality was excellent, with clear audio and a strong signal that penetrated far into buildings. The EV-DO (Rev. A) signal was strong; most Web pages downloaded in a matter of seconds, even the busiest sites. If 3G isn’t available, the Droid Eris will drop back to 1xRTT. The Droid Eris has 528MHz Qualcomm MSM7600 processor.

Plus :

The HTC Droid Eris has a great design, plenty useful features, and good performance. It also has pinch and zoom multitouch.

Minus :

The HTC Droid Eris has mixed multimedia quality. Droid Eris comes only with Android OS 1.5, that’s mean no file manager, and internal performance was occasionally sluggish. Unfortunately, we can’t save apps to a microSD card, it only can be saved on the phone’s shared internal memory.
