I suppose it depends on what you want. I got my Motorola Droid while Verizon was doing a buy one, get one deal. You could get either a Motorola Droid for ($150) or an HTC Eris with Droid and get an HTC Eris for free (all after rebates of course). I got the Motorola and my sister got the HTC. Personally, I like the physical keyboard, which is why I went with the Motorola. This keyboard is admittedly a little ungainly and takes some getting used to. It's a large phone compared to what I'm used to and that hurts it. I still use the physical keyboard more than the virtual one; however, the virtual keyboard on this phone is imo better than the ones I've used on an iPod. I hit the right keys much more often. My sister loves her HTC from what I can tell, but so far, I'm glad I got the Motorola. It really is a solid phone. I was surprised at the weight and construction of it when I first held an actual, out of the box model. The size and weight does necessitate a need for a hip holster, though. At least for me, it did. It doesn't fit all that nicely in the pocket.
So far (after over two weeks of use) my only problems with it are the battery life and the fact that here, in the Midwest, Verizon's service is quite spotty. I will have 3G and 4 bars with it sitting on my desk and the next time I look at my phone, it says 1X and one bar. It seems like the only truly reliable service here is US Cellular. Well...I'm saving almost $70/month on a family plan with Verizon so I can deal with some spotty service...
