HTC Joins Together With Dropbox, Offers 5GB Of Cloud Storage On All Sense 3.5 Handsets

Posted by in HTC, News

Not into the girl-centric HTC Rhyme? How about 5GB of free cloud storage courtesy of Dropbox to sweeten the deal? No? Fine. Regardless of whether or not this makes the Rhyme more appealing to the testosterone-fueled among us, HTC has joined forces with Dropbox to up the amount of free cloud storage from 2GB to 5GB on all new and upcoming Sense 3.5 devices.

If you're hoping that your device will snag a Sense 3.5 update and some bonus cloud space to go with it, I wouldn't suggest holding your breath. Even if HTC bumps Sense up to 3.5 on any of its current devices, it's unlikely that the added Dropbox space will come along with it -- I'm sure they're reserving this bonus for those who are looking to pick up a new device.

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.
