This past week we talked about the HTC Droid Eris which is an exclusive for Verizon Wireless on the US, and is suppose to be launched on the 6th of November.

But there is a recent rumour which can be considered bad news, in other words, the Droid Eris will make use of a 528MHz Qualcomm CPU and Android 1.5, which is less powerful the other HTC devices on the market. The reasons for using a “weaker” processor and version 1.5 of Android are still unknown, but maybe the prices are somehow related… We’ll keep you updated when the device rolls out.
