Reviewers Didn't Like

  • The keyboard is difficult to type upon and the keys are close together
  • Short battery life, Android 1.5 instead of 2.0, No dedicated camera shutter release button, No camera flash
  • Terrible, terrible keyboard; no multitouch; no tool to manage background applications
  • Slow and just frustrating to use, Clunky interface, Short talk time or battery life, Not very finger friendly, Poor call quality, Poor picture quality, Poor signal
  • Keyboard keys too flat
  • Physical keyboard is horrible. Worst camera ever. Feels like a brick in your hand. No direct synchronization with iCal or Address Book
  • Need wifi to upload big clips, No zoom for video
  • Battery life could be better, QWERTY keyboard keys too close together, Camera preview misleading
  • A little bit difficult to use at first because it’s so different from other smartphones
  • Still running Android 1.5, Same CPU as the Magic/myTouch 3G, Camera not much of an upgrade, Flash support somewhat oversold, Expensive on Sprint
  • DROID Eris has touch sensitive controls
  • No keyboard, Android 1.5, No Dedicated Camera button
  • No camera flash, GPS navigation costs extra, More expensive than HTC Hero (over two-year contract)
  • Processor lags like a chain smoker running the Boston Marathon. Mediocre voice quality. User interface could use a tuneup. And a valve job. Hell, how about a complete overhaul?
  • Multitouch is supported by the operating system but not implemented optimally in the device, Still photos are difficult to set up properly, Keyboard lighting is dysfunctional and erratic
  • Interface may be too complicated for new users. Lacks GPS turn-by-turn navigation. Camera is horrible.
  • Has a GPS but no VZ Navigator, just Google Maps
  • The HTC Droid Eris has mixed multimedia quality. It comes only with the Android 1.5 OS, there's no file manager, and internal performance was occasionally sluggish
  • Poor camera. Poor video playback. Slower and lower-resolution than Motorola Droid
  • QWERTY keyboard feels flat; dialpad control is restricted to the home screen; music and video capabilities still trail behind the competition; dual-mode functionality for world-roaming capabilities would have been a nice addition
  • Autofocus doesn't always work on the camera, Less apps than iPhone, Media player is lacking
  • No multitouch UI, Stifled “With Google” options, Moto’s typical weak camera performance, Final Score: 5/5
  • Flat keyboard is difficult to type on, Some camera images come out grainy, Currently has no access to Verizon's V Cast
