HTC Droid Eris
Returned after 1 1/2 Weeks

I came from an iphone 3GS and knew this was not the iphone killer but hoped it was close.
From the start I had issues retrieving email from my personal email account. I was forced to sign up for Gmail in order to use this phone.
The phone has issues DL attachments from Gmail and kept showing a blue question mark in place of the attachment. In my Verizon mail client the attachments would hang forever or fail to load from the server.
Neither Verizon nor Motorola could figure it out and said they were out of ideas.
Today it took 40 minutes to retrieve my email and then an error appeared at the top of the screen stating an error had occurred and then poof my ...

Did you get the wrong device forum? Motorola would have nothing to do with the HTC Droid Eris.
In any case, I have absolutely none of the problems you listed with email on my Droid Eris. Granted, I don't use gmail email on my Droid Eris, I connect to my own email service (where my gmail account is forwarded) through imap.
CDMA 3G services (Sprint and Verizon) do not allow data and voice services to work simultaneously, unlike GSM based services (AT&T and T-Mobile). This is a problem with Verizon devices, not with Android devices. However, if a call comes to you while using data services, it should interrupt data services to allow you to take the call.

I hope you were not calling Motorola to support an HTC device. Hell, they can't even support their own devices.

Yea.....
If signing up for Gmail is a problem for you....(30 seconds)
or IF you have a problem with Motorola Tsupport on a HTC device....
OR if you think pushing HARDER on a non-pressure based screen will fix the problem.....
this really is not the phone for you.
Right now I am leaning more towards your email problem being more USER related then OS related .......
