I have this really good bad idea of comparing said phone to the ipod touch 2g and seeing which one aged worse.
Most of what I searched for brought up modern phones or lists from that time of all the top of the line phones.

My first smartphone was the HTC Droid Eris in 2009. I don't think there were a lot of options for android phones at the time, at least in the US. At Verizon, for android phones, I had the choice between the Motorola Droid, or the Eris, which is what I ended up with, and it was definitely the budget option between the two lol
Oh, I have a motorola droid! Now if only it didn’t do that android battery thing...
My issue with the Eris was that it was part of the last generation of phones with a trackball, and they put it right over the charging port. So as you can probably imagine, after a few years of clicking the trackball multiple times a day, it eventually got to the point where it wouldn't charge well anymore lol. But yeah that and the Motorola Droid would be great contenders for 2009 android phones, from what I can tell the Droid was the 6th android phone to be released in the US, and the Eris was the 7th, with the Eris being for sure the cheaper of the two. I also found this article if it would be helpful, it's just a list of early android phones sorted by release date.
