Great phone, but like any other slows down with use.,
I have had this phone for going on a year now. I would say it is a great phone for anyone who would like an android phone, but would not plan to overuse its features (lots of apps, running widgets 24/7, etc….). Becoming more android savvy, I am replacing mine with something with more oomph. I have been disappointed in how little android saves to the memory card and instead to the phone itself.
Camera: It takes wonderful pictures….in good sunlight. But as does any cell phone camera. The videos are ok, and you can save a send-able file or one however long you like.
Battery: The battery lasted apprx. 10-12 hours a day on average use, 6-8hrs on heavy use, and probably would’ve lasted about 2 days on light use (only for phonecalls).
android version: This phone currently does not run froyo but it does run android 2.1, which works fine.
My phone became slow mostly because of the games and widgets I wanted to use. So if you are a light user, this is a great phone for the money.

After 1.5 years, this phone is SLOW,
Five more months and I can get a new phone…I can’t wait! At first, this phone ran fine. After about a year, it slowed down to a snail’s pace. I’m not a heavy phone user and I only have a few apps. I don’t use VZ navigate because the phone crashes before I can even type in my destination. The touch screen is a bit off and I’ve calibrated it recently – can’t touch the letters/numbers I really want or else the letter/number next to it will appear on the screen. This makes for some painfully slow text messaging and with autocorrect on, I’ve sent a ton of messages with random words inserted. My favorite contacts screen seems to shuffle my contacts around periodically so I’m always calling the wrong person. This happens so often that it has become a running joke amongst my friends. Overall, I would not buy this phone again and I definitely would not recommend it to a friend…an enemy? perhaps.

Do Not Waste Your Money!!!,
I have had the droid Eris since it first came out. I am on my 3rd warrantied one because after about 4-6 months they really become non functional. Verizon and HTC both will not do anything for you. I have 3 friends that traded there droids in and went with the Iphone. Dont waste your money on this phone you will not be happy and will have wasted your money about 6 months down the line.
