Droid Eris receiving 2.1?
Reports are sporadic on this one but at least one user over at Android Central’s forums is reporting that he updated his Eris to 2.1 over the air (OTA) and he has the pictures to back up the claim. He also says that he received his Eris before it’s official launch and many think this may have something to with its premature update to 2.1 The update apparently locked him out of signing in with his Google account, which in turn wiped all the phone’s data out, rendering the phone fairly unusable. People on the forums are really skeptical about the news and many are crediting it to the users being in a Verizon test group. Whatever this is, it sure isn’t official but it may be a sign of things to come (hopefully) soon. We will keep you posted on any updates.

I call BS. You can edit the file to say whatever “version” you want. This was seen on a droid. Before I believe stating that they had something higher than 2.1. I did it myself once. Made it say I had version 5.2.

It is a little iffy I admit. At the same time, if this guy is really just pulling our legs then he is going to a lot of trouble to do it. He is also playing the ignorant card really well and appears to just be a newbie android user. I understand it could all be an act but I’m taking this guy for his word.
