Verizon Wireless has confirmed that their budget friendly HTC Droid Eris will get an upgrade to Google Android 2.0 in early 2010. Currently the Eris ships with Android 1.5. With the upgrade the budget phone will receive Motorola Droid type functionality as flip phone type pricing.

Walmart threw in an extra Black Friday surprise today when they dropped the price of the HTC Droid Eris from $100 to an even more budget friendly $30 with a two-year Verizon Wireless contract.

The HTC Droid Eris will be launching on November 6th and will come with a host of features not typically found on a $99 phone.

Are the Moto Droid adverts driving you insane with anticipation? If they are you can be one of the first to own the device, you just need to be willing to wait in line for a 6AM release.

The Droid Eris started showing off its 5MP camera today and with video recording thrown in, plus a price at $100 lower than the Motorola Droid, it’s actually beginning to look a little more appealing.
