The device has CDMA/EV-DO network compatible with 3.2 “(resolution of 320 x 480 pixels) capacitive touch screen and a 5 megapixel camera. It characteristics seems that Eris will take midrange level market.

HTC Droid Eris scored 8.0 on CNet. The phone offers a slim design, plentiful features, and satisfying performance. It also has pinch and zoom multitouch. But, in other side, the device has has mixed multimedia quality. It comes only with the Android 1.5 OS, there’s no file manager, and internal performance was occasionally sluggish.
