Am actually thinking of gettin with Eris as well. I've got the droid and I dont think its for me considering I came from S2..It seem like the Eris is more Ideal with form factor and all..Do you know if you can set custom sms tones for contacts as well as sms tone for system. I cannot do that so far w/Droid and thats killing me. I cant even set an alert for voicemail or alarm either. S2, I did all that. Droid is Rediculously fast though and tons of apps are free. I've d/l a lot of apps on the Droid free that i purchased for S2..That's a plus

No so far I have only found the following

Default ringtone
Default notifications __ which covers voicemail and sms

no if i did said it backwards.

I got the moto the first day it came out and the next day I had to change to the Eris ... the fact that the Eris its a little slower then the moto doesn't bother me I'm happy with it! Love the feel and look of the Eris, I did miss the option of marking all emails as read but its all good now

Alright, so now I have a few more questions:

-Wifi "capable"....what does that mean? Do I need an additional data plan or an app?

-Processor is Qualcomm MSM7600, 528MHz....isn't that same as on storm? (yes, may be a dumb question )

-Will this processor handle 2.0 OS just fine?

...or the painful question: Should I still wait for Passion?

I was thinking about it but then so far the only difference I saw between the Passion and the Eris is the processor, looks like the memory will be the same so I won't replace the Eris for the passion.

Pretty significant difference in the processor though.

I wonder how the battery life will be... But if the HD2 is an indicator, then I don't think we should have battery issues with the Snapdragon 1 Ghz and HTC.
