Any problem you see, I would suggest emailing HTC about it so they can check it out and if they find out if there is something wrong fix it. If its data or connection issue send it to HTC and VZW, as HTC knows there is still a connection issue occurring with the phone(but the more who complain about it the better chance they would bring out more fixes for the device).

Ok, starting to kick myself for not getting the Motorola Droid.
(And too late for me to exchange phones).

Eris is pissing me off from time to time as it's been locking up... most notably after receiving calls. Phone won't do anything at all.

Also ben having more and more issues of the phone hesitating or slowing up. Even with no apps open. I find myself rebooting the phone more than before. Maybe it's an app I have installed that's causing this... (though the only app that runs full-time is the Task Manager), or clutter from way too many installs/uninstalls of demo or crapware apps.

Go to the Peep App, Touch Menu -> Settings -> Send & Recieve -> Scroll UP -> Select Manual -> Volia

as far as i can tell, i've had my Eris for about 2.5 months and the only problem that i've had is the external speaker (the one for the ringer and speaker) seems to have blown, the sound is distorted now when at higher volumes but i rarely use the speaker other than notifications, messages, and incoming calls so ill hang on to it for a while longer before i trade it in for a new one on warrenty replacement. also i've noticed that even though the battery is small, its battery life is a heck of alot longer than that of previous HTCs, namely the vogue, and the screen is alot better quality, Sense UI is amazing its got more feature than anyone could ever ask for in a phone. I'd have to say that HTC got it right with this one, now hopefully they'll release the android 2.0 updates soon

one problem i had today was while i was on hold on a phone call, i had decided to check my gmail and my screen kept shutting off/going dim. maybe its in a settings or something but i cant seem to find it

I'm growing tired of the Eris.
Neat platform, but I find that it's getting slower and slower, laggy, and more and more force closes. (And I haven't installed anything new for quite a while).

Considering a factory reset, installing apps I currently use, and then not touching it.
