Like it or not, we've got it on pretty reasonable authority that that HTC's first "DROID" phone is nothing more than a rebadged, shape-shifted Hero (something we've been hearing for a while now ), and that it'll be launching on Verizon on November 6th, the same day as Motorola's DROID . That ...

Gadget Leak: Verizon’s HTC ‘DROID’ Eris Price And Launch Date
GadgetReview —
... The ‘DROID’ Eris name possibly has something to do with some sort of weird Verizon branding, but if I were Motorola I’d be up in arms.
Specs for the handset include a 3.2-inch touchscreen, WiFi, virtual QWERTY keyboard, 5 megapixel camera, 3.5mm headphone jack and all that HTC jazz we’ve come to expect.

Confirmed: Droid Eris Launches November 6, $99
I4U News —
... Good news, Android fans and Verizon subscribers, we have confirmation that the new Droid Eris will launch on November 6. The Eris seems set to be the iPhone 3G to the Droid's 3GS. Despite the fact that it is virtually identical to the $180 HTC Hero, the Eris will cost only $99. Rumors of the release date and price point leaked out earlier this week, but this leaked internal document found by Engadget is the first real proof we have. The Eris is definitely a step below the Droid, but it does have two awesome features that its big brother lacks. As a Hero clone, the Eris will ...
Droid Eris looks to come same day as Droid
Gadgetell —
... feel bad about spending the extra $80 on what is essentially the same phone. Verizon could be missing a big point in not marketing the Droid Eris if it is coming in on the same day as the Droid. True, the focus is (and should be) on the Droid, but that doesn’t make the Sense UI any less desirable to many people. It’s clear that Verizon is really getting the Android platform and pushing the newer features, which is definitely a welcome move.
