HTC Droid Eris (HTC Desire) Hitting Verizon With Just a Measly 528MHz CPU and Android 1.5

According to the latest unconfirmed news the HTC Droid Eris (Desire) launching on Verizon will actually be outed with Android 1.5 and the old-school 528MHz CPU, which definitely sucks. However, this morning we did hear that HTC is working on some Android 2.0 devices, so it looks the HTC Dragon / Passion will be outed with Android 2.0 - possibly along with the glorified 1GHz Qualcomme Snapdragon CPU.

Update: According to Phandroid, this handset could be launching for $99 on a 2-year contract.
