Crisis Averted

I waited until the last second to check into using my cell phone in Haiti (I have a Droid ERIS) and found out this morning that it will not work there. Luckily Verizon has a deal where I rent a phone that will work that they are express shipping to $10 to me and all I have to pay is any actual roaming charges. The bad news is that calls to the U.S. are $2.89 a minute so conversations with my wife will be "Hi, I am still alive, love you, bye".

I didn't realize you had the Droid ERIS. I have one too and I really like it! I like it better than most of the larger phones, although I wish it were a little faster.

We like it too but I have some trouble typing on the touch screen. I am getting better at it but I prefer the blackberry keyboard for longer messages. Plus the battery life stinks.
