Do they still actually do this? I was under the impression that VZW changed their policy on that, and dropped the three strike rule?

You should ask them if you can get another Eris and save your upgrade for later.

i would second the vote on incredible. the droid is old, the incredible is newer and would be an actual upgrade worth getting.

The question you have to ask yourself is do you want to root. You can root the Eris now, but you might not ever be able to root the Incredible.
