HTC Droid Eris Debuts November 6

As it turned out, the spy photos of the HTC Dragon smartphone turned out to be real. This smartphone will be released exclusively for Verizon's CDMA operator on November 6, at the same time as the launch of the Motorola Droid smartphone.

“Make it mine. Stay close. Discover the unexpected ”is the advertising slogan of HTC Droid Eris, which clearly points to the novelty of the software platform of the smartphone. However, contrary to expectations, the Droid Eris will not be based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, but only on the budget version of the SoC MSM7200 - MSM7600, which operates at a frequency of 528 MHz. Also, the smartphone will be equipped with a 3.2 '' capacitive screen, WiFi 802.11 b / g, 5 megapixel camera, 288 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM. As the OS - Android 1.5 Cupcake.

It is also worth noting that this time the phone will be sold under the HTC brand (usually the name of the operator appears in the name of the phone in the USA), which is an exception and testifies to the growing authority of the company. HTC emerges from the shadow of OEM / ODM companies, and begins to act as a full-fledged market participant.
