Officially, neither HTC nor Verizon have confirmed that a second member to the Droid series, the HTC Droid Eris even exists. But from all the “leaks” we have had, it is pretty much confirmed that it exists and that it will be out on November 6 along with its bigger brother the new Motorola Droid. However, to shred a bit of that mystery, some of the best ninjas around, the folks from BoyGeniusReport were able to get their hands on two live shots of the HTC Droid Eris – don’t ask how — and also gave some feedback as to how the handset performs.

According to unnamed sources, the Droid Eris by HTC ” feels the same as the Sprint HTC Hero but it seems faster, slightly thinner and taller”, and may we add, certainly looks similar. The Eris will be running Android 1.5 along with HTC’s flashy Sense UI, but since the company has already announced an Android 2.0 upgrade for the Hero, it is logical to assume they will do the same for the Droid Eris.
Packing a 5 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi and no hardware keyboard, HTC Droid Eris is supposed to release the same day with the possible iPhone-killer Motorola Droid. An earlier leak had revealed that the handset will be priced at a mere $99 after rebates, with a 2 year contract making it the entry-level counterpart to the Droid.
