Verizon’s Droid lineup will apparently be launching November 6, according to tipsters. Motorola’s Droid (a.k.a Sholes) and HTC’s Eris (a.k.a Desire) will be the first members to the family, with more on the way.  The Droid has a 3.7-inch 480×854 touchscreen, 5-megapixel autofocus camera, GPS, Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi, 256MB RAM/512MB ROM and a microSDHC slot supporting up to 16GB memory cards. The only thing we really know about the Eris is that it’s packing HTC’s Sense user interface – we’re definitely looking forward to hearing more about the specs. If you haven’t seen Verizon’s teaser campaign making tongue-in-cheek comparisons between Android and iPhone operating systems, it’s definitely worth a watch.
