HTC Droid For 99$ by Mid November

Verizon Wirelessis keen on having the best offer for Android-powered handsets this year. Apparently not just one mobile phone but a complete lineup for the company’s Android devices, there’s a new smartphone coming to the Droid series — the new HTC Droid Eris.

Previously known as HTC Desire, the newly branded Droid Eris with the luscious Sense UI is slated to launch on November 6th. Unfortunately there’s a 528MHz Qualcomm CPU under the hood and Android 1.5 — although we’d expect an upgrade to 2.0 Eclair sometime next year.

What’s a bid weird is that Verizon have done their best when it comes to marketing the Moto Droid, but have managed to keep HTC’s Droid Eris well under wraps until now. We’ll have to assume that happens because there’s a large gap between the two handsets.
