I'm on verizon. I use texting a lot but i think i can deal with the touch screen on the Eris but do you need a data plan for the droid eris and if so is it required?? I had a 1 year contract on the phone i have right now which is the ENV2 by LG and its about time to get a new phone so please help me out on picking for the HTC Droid Eris of the Samsung Rogue?? Thank You
