I found the browser on droid eris & moto droid clumsy often forcing wrong orientation and with significant lag. the eris is a poor performer as it has SenseUI also. The motorola droid keyboard was dated & bad (vs TP2) and the menu softkeys poorly designed and confusing. Android itself was confusing and disjointed. Email was a mess requiring one app for gmail and one app for your other mail. no slingobox or havaTv support among other disappointments.
Droid Eris onscreen keyboard caused too many typos (vs TP2/Imagio/WVGA)... seemed like it was poorly done with low resolution screen contributing... keys too narrow.
Droid Eris- if it had 2.1 and turn-by-turn preinstalled - and with some tweaking (disabling Sense, etc) is a decent cheap smartphone for a chick however.
There is no perfect smartphone or smartphone OS at this time. we all need to realize that.

The Droid Eris is a "budget" smartphone too, lower spec.
A friend of mine has a Droid and I've played with it a bit, it's nice. Will I jump ship to Android because of it? Nah, not yet. Thankfully my TP2 was running 100% when we had a comparison and the TP2 was smoother, faster, more customizable, and had more useful programs available than his Droid... TP2 FTW in that case, too bad it's been crapping out since that.
Now a choice between Android and WinMo 7? That will be tougher but I'll have to decide when the time comes.
