HTC Rhyme smartphone hands-on and live first look

MobileBurn.com - HTC has just announced the new Rhyme smartphone that will be headed to Verizon Wireless. The Rhyme is a typical slab-style smartphone, but it offers some unique features and accessories that HTC hopes will catch the eye of ladies who are shopping for a new smartphone. Behind its 3.7-inch, WVGA display is a 1GHz processor and 768MB of RAM. The Rhyme runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread with the latest version of HTC's interface, dubbed Sense 3.5. Sense 3.5 offers new widgets to quickly accessed recently-used features, as well as a redesigned app tray. HTC is including a number of accessories with the Rhyme, such as wireless charging dock, tangle-free headphones, and a charm that has a notification light at the end of it. The charm will light up whenever there is a missed call or new message, and it is easy to see without digging the phone out of a bag. The Rhyme will be available on September 29 for $199.99 with a new two-year agreement.
