rumor going around saying the new HTC Incredible will replace the Eris. Seems early to me but makes sense since the Hero's replacement is the Legend. That means the Eris lifespan was only 6 months, kinda crazy.
Maybe there wont be no 2.1 update if this rumor is true.

The folks over at Berry Scoop are reporting that they’ve been told by a trusted source that the HTC Incredible will be landing on Verizon sometime around April first. What’s hard to believe about this information is that the source is also claiming that Verizon will be taking the Droid Eris end of life on the same date. Why would HTC and Verizon put all the time and money into developing and testing the Eris just to take it end of life after five months of service. Not to mention why is Verizon currently testing the Android 2.1 update for the Eris that’s scheduled to be released at the end of the first quarter if they’re going to take it off the shelf on the first day of the second quarter?
Another thing their source told them is that Verizon is viewing the Incredible as their version of the Nexus One. Why would Verizon view the Incredible as their version of the Nexus One when they are in fact getting the Nexus One, rumored to be made available as soon as March 23rd. Not to mention the
Incredible only sports 256MBof RAM and 512MB of ROM, while the
Nexus One boasts 512MB of RAM and ROM.
Things just don’t add up or make a whole lot of business sense for the two companies involved (HTC and Verizon). Guess we’ll have to wait and see on this one.
