Droid Eris (Desire) launching on Verizon soon. Very soon?

<In-house screen grabs are always a nice, reassuring piece of evidence to an impending new device launch. With Verizon’s holiday flagship device, the Moto Droid, is not even released yet, a second Android/Droid Series device, the Eris is already being caught making it’s way through Verizon in-house training documents. A welcome sight indeed. The most plausible and talked about launch date for the Eris isn’t too far away, falling on November 10th, just a few days after the Moto Droid walks into the spotlight. In case you forgot or didn’t already know, the Eris will pack in a 320 x 480 capacitive display, 5 megapixel camera w/ auto-focus, trackball navigation, and microSD support to round out the more popular features. Do you think launching another rather tempting device so close to Droid will cannibalize sales? Or is the fact that one is a touchscreen w/ slider while the other is void of any real physical input will set them apart in their own respective circles?
