What are the reviews of Droid Eris by HTC like?

The HTC Droid Eris is the second Android phone that Verizon has launched this fall. This simplified droid is basically the smaller version of Droid and is being marketed as such. Is half the price of $ 99 with the contact of 2 years and so far the cheapest available Android phone.

Here's a quick rundown of features:
Android 1.5
5MP camera w / autofocus
3.2in display
528MHz processor
288 MB of RAM
512 MB of ROM
8GB microSD Card (Class 2)
CDMA Rev A
Wi-Fi
GPS
Bluetooth
Magnetometer (compass)
3.5 mm headphone jack

The scroll wheel-like BlackBerry is useful, and added to the design of the phone. I also like the dedicated call and end buttons. The end button also serves as the lock button.

I'm not a fan miniUSB data port that uses HTC. Why can not use the microUSB port that everyone else uses? I'm sure at one point, will be the odd man out and then change its port and USB cable / charger.

The microSD card is a style push-click on the side of the phone under the back cover. I really like this compared to the Moto Droid. With the Moto Droid have to remove the battery to get the microSD card out, which is really annoying. It should also be out of the slot with a fingernail or a pen. At one point I put the card in reverse, which is impossible with Eris.

Applications
Pre-loaded applications include:
Amazon MP3 store, Verizon Visual Voicemail
Google Maps, Calendar, Talk, Gmail, Youtube
Quickoffice, PDF Viewer, Peep (Twitter)
Actions (using Yahoo finance?), Time (HTC application which is very good)
I am disappointed that this phone does not come with Android 2.0. The phone has 1.5 (for now) Because of this there are many things missing compared to the Moto Droid: Combined mail box, universal search and navigation of Google Maps. Lame.

Another thing I found strange: there is an option to send photos to Facebook as it takes, and it works, but the Facebook application is anywhere. You also get status updates on the Notification menu. By clicking on your friend who is brought to your profile via the web browser. There is no way to invite your Facebook friends as contacts like the Moto Droid. There is a way to connect an existing contact with a contact in Facebook, however, it has to be done manually for each contact. I assume this is the difference between Android applications 1.5 and 2.0 Facebook. The Eris definitely not in the department of Facebook.
