Umm you're wrong about no one has stated that the eris is getting the 2.1 update. The CEO for HTC confirmed it on February 16 2010. phandroid.com/2010/02/16/htc-droid-eris-hero-getting-android-2-1/ Now I would be very angry if Verizon doesn't push this to the Eris owners. Bc I was another duped customer that was originally gonna buy the Motorola Droid & was talked Into the Eris by the Verizon representative in fact he was very persistent that I go with the Eris bc of the 2.1 update. I will be very angry if HTC & Verizon decide to forget about the Eris userbase. If u are promised something then they need to honor their promises. There are a lot of Eris + Hero owners who have been patitently waiting for this update since November. It would be almost a slap in the face if this doesn't get pushed to the phone. I'm almost positive I read somewhere else that every android phone is getting 2.1. They even have chart with the % of all the droid phones with the OS & the phones that are still waiting to get it.
