HTC Rhyme Shows Up Just In Time, Has All The Ladies Standing In Line

Posted by in News, Rhyme

For all the Android-lovin' ladies in the house, HTC has just announced the Rhyme for Verizon: a mid-range device coated in a metallic plum (read: purple) finish with matching accessories. Previously rumored as the Bliss, the Rhyme was designed with the woman in mind (see what I did there?), complete with "charm indicator" -- an accessory that will glow purple when the phone is ringing, so you never miss another call because you didn't hear your phone beneath... whatever it is that you keep in that bottomless pit of a handbag.

From a hardware standpoint, the Rhyme is a modernized Droid Incredible pimped out with a female twist:

  • 3.7-inch WVGA display
  • 1GHz Snapdragon processor (single core)
  • 768MB RAM
  • 5MP rear camera, VGA front camera
  • Android 2.3 with Sense 3.5

It also comes matching earbuds and a Bluetooth headset, as well as a sport armband so you can show off your new purple sidekick while workin' on your fitness.

Get ready, Verizon customers. IGN just leaked Verizon's alleged 2011 roadmap, and, unsurprisingly, it features Android quite heavily. While there aren't too many details on any of the devices outside of what we already know, it will give you a good general idea of what to expect from Verizon this year:

  • Samsung Stratosphere: Previously rumored as Verizon's version of the Samsung Galaxy S2, the Stratosphere is listed as a "4G Smartphone w/Android 2.3." While it isn't exactly confirmation, there is a chance that this rumor was spot-on. Prepare for its release on September 8.
  • Droid Bionic: Months after its original unveiling, the Droid Bionic is finally going to be available to purchase.
