Verizon HTC Droid Eris VS Motorola Droid: Which is better?

In terms of price, the Droid Eris will cost $99 with a two-year contract after a $100 mail in rebate, making it the most affordable Android phone currently available - and its half the price of the Droid.

Secondly, the Droid Eris runs HTC's slick Sense user interface overlay, which is more aesthetically appealing than the Android 2.0 (also known as Éclair) user interface.

Thirdly, the Droid Eris is lighter, and more "pocket-friendly" than the Droid.

• Qualcomm MSM 7600 528MHz processor
