I want to compare Palm Pre Plus and Droid ERIS today. Both are great smart phones from Verizon Wireless. Excellent hardware build and have tons of apps for download. Without further due, let the Palm Pre Plus vs. DROID ERIS battle begin. OK, wait, before you dive into the detail specs, I want to let you know that I personally favor the DROID ERIS a little bit. The major factor here is the price. DROID ERIS is the only FREE (before rebates) Google Android phone in the market today (online only though) and the Pre Plus costs $100 $19.99 more than the ERIS.

heres what i read so far about the eris on its performance and its speed of use.
i think i want the droid eris but i have the choice of that and the Iphone. any advice?
Definitely get the iphone, droid eris hasnt been updated and iphone is faster with less lags, more accurate touchscreen and virtual typing in my opinion, i own the eris.
