so the Eris will not be able to upgrade from the 1.5 to 2.0 OS?

The $99 droid is talking about the Droid Eris not the main Moto Droid that is generating all the press. Eris is basically just a slightly modified hero.

“Those of you who are willing to wait for the rebate can have the Droid for $99.”

Did I miss something? How can I do that?

Maybe saving $100 is worth it (or saving $89 over buying the DROID at Walmart) for some people but it seems like a waste if you’re stuck with a phone that may not be upgradeable. Personally, I’ll be spending the extra few bucks to get the latest OS.
