There are two versions of this configuration. They have the same number of seats in each cabin, however the rear lavatory configuration is different.
United's website now refers to these configurations as Version 3 and Version 4.
Version 3: United Domestic 777 "High Density" Configuration ("Version 3")
Version 4: United Domestic 777 "High Density" Configuration ("Version 4")

Word of mouth is the best advertising. It can also be the worst if you are United.
It's time for the customer experience pendulum to start swinging back again, and not just for business class. Does nobody at United study Southwest? There is a reason they carry more domestic passengers than any other airlines.

But there's also a reason why business travelers like myself hate them.

I hate these planes
living in Hawaii, I have 3 choices. The 767 and 737 planes have pedestrian but not punitive main cabins. But the 777s.....if you gamble on a coach ticket with a GPU and fail, you are in misery. So what to do?? Sure 737-800 or gamble on 777??
absence of R at booking complicates.....needlessly

(I imagine you meant 757 instead of 767, by the by.)

I suspect you have not flow the 777 in question. There are no 'paired seats', unless you mean every seat.

There are actually like 9 or 10 pairs of seats in coach, just mostly not in E+ (there's a bunch all the way in back where the fuselage starts to taper, and a couple kind of in the middle near the lavatories - in one version ahead of the exits and not E+, in the other version behind the exits with one pair being E+ exit row).

the last 4 rows at the back of the plane in e- are also "paired" I am not such a fan of e-.
p.s. and there are no "paired" E+ seats on the 77HD. The only UA 777 with a "pair" of E+ seats is the sUA 3 class bird.

You are right, there is a pair of e- seats on both sides by the can in the back of the first section. Those seats have limited recline. definately awesomesauce.

One version includes an exit row pair of E+ seats (see version 4 in the wiki above, or UA's own seat charts).
