The DROID ERIS by HTC understands what moms need.  Moms and teens can make this phone their own, personalizing almost everything about it from custom scenes to apps, and more.

Currently available to Verizon Wireless customers, the DROID ERIS is an affordable smartphone for busy moms and dads that need to stay in touch.

The HTC Droid ERIS is a great smartphone for beginner smartphone users.  My mother who is with Verizon, has the HTC Droid ERIS loves it.  She transitioned from a Palm to the ERIS and is very happy.  She appreciates the touch screen, multiple home screens,  the camera quality, easy calling features, email, and has actually downloaded a few game apps!  Like with any smartphone the HTC Droid ERIS requires that you add a data package to your Verizon account which costs $29.99 or more.

DROP DEAD DIVA: SEASON 1 DVD hits streets on June 1, 2010!

Lifetime’s quirky comedic drama series, Drop Dead Diva, is about a fateful accident that brings one joyous woman into a whole new world of love, life, and career adventures through a new set of eyes.
Drop Dead Diva is the story of a beautiful-but-vapid model wannabe Deb (Brooke D’Orsay) who has  a fatal car accident and finds herself in the body of the recently deceased Jane Bungum (Brooke Elliott), a brilliant plus-size attorney.
By a twist of fate and a bolt of divine intervention, Deb can no longer rely on her fabulous looks to pull her through.  Now, the new Jane must confront the challenges of her adventurous new life, love and career — as well as her curvier frame — in the ultimate showdown of brains and beauty.
