Verizon Wireless saved the best till the last. Out of the four phones (the other three are BlackBerry Curve 8530, Samsung Convoy, and LG Chocolate Touch) that VZ launched today, the best is the HTC Droid Eris full touch screen phone powered by Google’s Android operating system. The Droid Eris runs on HTC Sense user interface that allow users to create customized home screen that suit their needs.

Besides launching LG Chocolate Touch, and BlackBerry Curve 8530, Verizon Wireless today also unearthed the Samsung Convoy, a rugged Push-to-Talk phone that is built to meet military specifications to withstand the harshest of elements. The Samsung Convoy looks just like one of those ugly Nextel phones that are designed for on-field workers. The Convoy features a long battery life, Push to Talk capabilities that leverage Verizon Wireless’ Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) Revision A (Rev. A), VZ navigator (GPS navigation), 2-MP digital camera, and stereo speaker.

Verizon Wireless spokesmen today said that the Motorola Droid phone, Motorola’s first Android-powered phone, could be tethered (means users could use the Droid phone as a wireless modem for a laptop to browse the Internet) starting in the first quarter 2010. Wait a second. Before you jump and down celebrating, there is a catch for that. There is a $15 dollars fee for this service, and you could only get up to 5GB of data per month. Verizon Wireless didn’t say what is the penalty if you use more than 5GB of data per month.

The phone has an OLED display that nobody knows whether it is a touch screen or not. We kind of disbelieve that the rumor is true, but the phone world seems like want to believe that.
