It’s apparently not common knowledge that there are actually two Droids: the Motorola Droid and the HTC Droid Eris. They’re both Android-based phones, but significantly different in form and firmware. The Motorola Droid is a slider phone with a large screen and a physical keyboard that runs Android 2.0. The Droid Eris is cheaper, with a slower CPU and no dedicated GPU, but it’s also far slicker than the Motorola Droid.
