Def right I'd rather my Droid over my wife's Eris , but the reason I wanted to possbily return the Droid (we are new VZW customers , 3 weeks) was to move to the Nexux One - for a phone with the speed of the Droid , larger screen (higher resolution) etc. - so sort of like the Eris by HTC which has some things I really like with the power / speed / display size of the Droid.
The Droid's screen def is wider than the Eris , but what I was getting at is that it isn't that much wider as it is taller (the Droid's aspect ratio makes the screen more of a "wide screen" display - like the Eris is more like a std 4:3 monitor , the Droid 16:9).
Think I'm stuck with the Droid which isn't a bad thing (no family plan for 2 phones for N1) , next year there should be a better HTC phone than the Nexus One anyway - especially if it has their Sense UI which makes the Eris pretty cool (better contacts , faves , music player controls etc.) .
If Motorola releases a contrast fix & text suggestions for the h/w keyboard I'll be much more saitisfied with the Droid over the next year.
