Overall

4.6

"All kinds of awesome."

The good: Applications, the GREAT virtual keyboard, Sense UI and it's corresponding widgets, call clarity and reception.

The bad: Slight lags in performance here and there, battery life could use a smidge of improvement

Summary: This phone is awesome. I've had mine for about a month and have no intention on returning it. I use it mostly for music, text messaging, various forms of internetting, and for directions and GPS. Of course, the GPS functionality will be MUCH better once the Eris receives the 2.x Android facelift, but it gets the job done for now with Google Maps and directions. The contact integration with Facebook is quite cool, and the Android application library has a lot of nifty stuff.

With this being my second experience with a touch screen smartphone (my first was a Samsung Omnia. Windows Mobile 6.1 is bad news) I am very satisfied after being skeptical for so long. I recommend this phone highly.
