storm 2 or droid eris?

im eligible for an upgrade in a week and ive been looking at the blackberry storm 2 and the htc droid eris.ive played around with the storm 2 at the store and i like mostly everything about it.and the eris has a nice shape and the android os is interesting but i havent had a chance to try it yet which i am planning to do soon.anyone using either phone have any pros, cons or just things i should know?thanks.storm 2 or droid eris?
I have the Motorola Droid; which uses the android OS from google.I really like this phone, but there are a couple of quirks that I think are a result of the android OS. I don't know if the HTC Droid Eris also has these quirks.My droid will not sync with a desktop version of MS outlook. So, it can not sync calendars, or contacts. I call this a quirk because I found a free work around.I signed up for a gmail email account. gmail and android based phone work together seamlessly (I know, big surprise that two google products work together). So, I downloaded to my pc the google calender app. This app automatically syncs you outlook calendar and your gmail calendar. Add a calendar event on the phone, outlook or gmail and it will be on all 3. For contacts, I went into outlook and went to file/export and saved a CVS file of all my contacts. Went to gmail and imported them. all contacts are now in gmail, transferred to the phone. took like one minute or less for my entire contacts list to show on the phone.There are some issues with blue tooth head sets. the only one worth mentioning is that you can not use the headset to activate the voice activated dialing.Because android is an open source OS, I do not know if these are issues with android in general or just with the Moto Droid phone. Overall I really do like the droid.storm 2 or droid eris?
They are both really cool phones. I personally like the eris a little better. The sense ui on the eris is great. There are more apps for the eris and they should start coming out faster with android becoming more and more popular. Ther eris will be receving the updated version of android very soon which should make it a little quicker and also includes the navigation app that the motorola droid has. On the other hand the the storm 2 is a really nice phone with a larger screen and better email. Check them both out a your local verizon store and the get the one you like better.
I would wait for the htc passion/bravo or gphone coming out in january. Passion will have a 1ghz processor (amazing for phones) and run latest android with Sense ui. Thats what I'm doing :)
i was going to get a droid. then my new job sent me a fun email saying they use blackberry enterprise servers and if i want to access the servers from a smart phone, it'd have to be a blackberry.(weeps)so now i'm getting a storm 2. it'll do everything i NEEDED the droid to do plus will be better with email. only thing i'll miss is the free gps on the droid and a webkit browser (although i'll definitely put opera mini on the storm 2. not sure if thats a webkit browser or not.) i'd rather use the typical blackberry keyboard, but the screen is too small for decent browsing imo.business user- storm 2 keyboards supposed to be much improved from the first gen. storm.normal user- i'd get the droid (not eris) because it has the more recent version of android, better hardware.
