Verizon pushes out update for Droid Eris

Verizon announced on Thursday that it has begun pushing out a software update to HTC Droid Eris users.

Like the upgrade for the Motorola Droid, the over-the-air update (specifically, ROM version 1.16.605.1/Radio version 2.32.40.11.09) will be delivered to small group of customers first and then slowly rolled out to everyone within a week. Users will receive a notification on their smartphone alerting them when the update is ready for download.

Highlights of the update include:

  • While on a call and the device is in screensaver mode, pressing the
    End key now takes the device out of screensaver mode, and a second
    press will end the call
  • Device now switches effectively from 1x mode to 3G
  • Device no longer requires users to reselect a default e-mail after
    power-cycling
  • SMS and MMS messaging delivery is improved
  • Eighty-character MMS/SMS message subject lines are now allowed
