are you people so lame that you can't tell the difference between the different droid phones?

any why does it matter? ..buy the one you want and quit whining about something so silly.

can you tell the difference between a ford focus and a ford taurus .. or does your mommy still need to hold your hand for you?

I think it's kinda misleading considering how the eris doesn't have a physical keyboard or the ability to take photos in the dark, both of which the "droid" was supposedly characterized by.

I'd just like to know which one to get...the Motorola Droid or the HTC Eris Droid? I've reserved The Droid at Best Buy and though I suspect it's the better of the two...the Eris sure looks more "pocketable". But if it's only running Android 1.6 I'll take the larger of the two.

I agree with the other posters that the Motorola Droid should have a second name.

Presumably, after Verizon's marketing campaign, people will start saying things like: "I'm going to get a Droid" or "I have a Droid". Will they be referring specifically to the "Motorola" Droid, or to "any" Droid, in the Droid family?

I agree w/ BobBruff, you have the Droid, and then a bunch of Droid xxxx, confusing. They should have called the line the droid and had the Droid Eris, and something like the Droid tao(but a better name) for the Droid.

I think if they would have given THE Droid an additional name it wouldn't be as confusing, but since they've got the Droid, the Droid Eris, etc. it will get a bit confusing...
