Question...now or wait?

i was thinking of getting the Moto Droid, but the Eris is a better feeling phone...but I wanted Android 2.0 ... I keep going back and forth -- does this mean that those who have an Eris will be able to upgrade or does it mean that I should wait till the upgrade is out before I purchase the phone. Suggestions. If the Touch Pro 2 were to come out with Android, I'd buy that one in a heartbeat...

thanks, jen.

yeahright

Depends on Sprint. Remember, even though they are basically the same phone, each carrier has different ways they approve upgrades. Now, if you have a Rooted Hero, you should be able to get the update no matter what, but as far as official updates, y...
