HTC Rhyme hands-on

mobile

We just spent some quick time with the HTC Rhyme here at HTC’s event in New York City. The device is sleek, reasonably thin, and feels good in your hand. It’s soft-touch coated and obviously is geared towards more of the female audience with the fashion-focus and color, though the phone itself doesn’t alienate anyone. Specifications are on-point with a mid-range smartphone, and the docking station and other accessories round out a decent package. We’ll have to see how interested consumers are at a $199.99 with a two-year agreement, however, especially with much more capable handsets available and coming soon. Check out the hands-on photos in our HTC Rhyme gallery, alright?

      How can it kill something that doesn’t exist yet? This is a mid-range phone at best.

        Sarcasm isn’t denoted in text, sarcasm is more of a audible thing.

        I don’t see how you do not know thatØŸ

    Nice job displaying someones phone number on your blog. I’m sure they will be pleased with that.

    Also, this phone is made for women and comes with a notification charm. Lets see some hands on for the HTC Bass.

    What’s the difference between this one and the 1000 other Android models?

      No difference. Simply more Android junk. How pathetic.

    Okay, fine… whatever.  What about the Vigor?

  • Tyler

    The new Sense looks terrible. The “iconic” clock was a HUGE part of it, and the new generic one looks like a bad samsung widget. Horrible decision in HTC’s part to change the clock (completely)!

    Omg! Finally! A real “hands-on”, since there’s actually “hands” “on” the product!

    What makes it a phone geared towards women?  the Pink color?  A soft touch back?  Women want sleek powerful phones just like men do – and quite honestly, most women just want a white iphone.

    To give a woman mid grade device and then price it on par with an iphone…good luck HTC and verizon….good luck.

    More Verizon branded Android JUNK.

    This is the problem with Android…too much developer influence…you can’t deny that about iOS…

    It may not have ALL the bells and whistles but you can be assured that it will WORK and its STREAMLINED…some of us actually want that in a device. 

    I think its amazing how the iPhone 4 has been out for over a year and yet people are still trying to “beat it”…i’m not a fanboy of either but its worth noting…

    Having more random tools on your swizz army knife doesn’t mean they all work that great together…its still a KNIFE first and foremost.
