Verizon Wireless today unveiled its second Android-powered handset, the Droid Eris manufactured by HTC -- and using the same interface as the widely lauded HTC Hero offered by Sprint.

The Eris will go on sale tomorrow for $99.99 after rebates and new two-year service plan, joining the Motorola Droid -- Verizon's first Android phone, which Droidwill also hit store shelves tomorrow.

Powered by the 528 MHz Qualcomm MSM 7600 processor, the Eris weighs in at a tad over 4 ounces, and is 4.4 inches long, 2 inches wide and half an inch thick. It uses CDMA/EV-DO Rev. A for connectivity and boasts a 3.2-inch touchscreen with 320-by-480 resolution.
