Call this situation puzzling. As it seems, some Droid Eris owners are reporting that they are able to update their handsets to Android 2.1 — in a bricked mode; in fact this version of Android 2.1 has no Sense UI and completely wipes out your data, and to only make things worse, owners are not able to log into their Google accounts either. Looks like someone’s going to get fired for this slip-up. On the flipside, Verizon has been saying for a while now that the Eris would get a newer version of Android, but never mentioned which. As a word of precaution, we suggest you back up your Eris pronto.
