Cons

Nonremovable battery, Single core CPU, Dock can’t be used to connect to PC, Screen doesn’t handle black very well
Wi-Fi death-grip; Overpriced; Lacklustre video player; Unimpressive camera; Slightly laggy at times.
Prone to slipping out of hands; earbuds on bundled headset too big; charm accessory not very useful; slow response at times.
Some might not like the color, Bit of a background “hiss” in calls, Battery cannot be removed, Lighted charm seems useless
Poor camera, mediocre call quality, overpriced for the performance it mustersLook and Feel...
No 4G, Purple color isn't for everyone, Midrange specs.
Battery is not user-replaceable; the phone is going to tak a lot of flack because it is plum … get over it, people!
Call quality issues, device tends to heat up in use, not a 4G device, a bit pricey for it specs, battery life could be better
So-so performance, No 4G, Expensive, Annoying port cover
Some might not like the color, Bit of a background “hiss” in calls, Battery cannot be removed, Lighted charm seems useless
Charm wasn't as useful as HTC hoped it would be; non-removable battery; poor HD video quality.
The Rhyme's purple color and cell phone charm won't be for everyone. Camera quality could be better.

I am a fan of big screen phones. There I admit it, so why I may here you ask do I have HTC‘s latest offering in the Rhyme sitting in front of me for review. Well the reason couldn’t be simpler, if you are a regular reader of Coolsmartphone...

I often find that phones catered to females are useless. They’re usually underpowered, based on an old design or colored pink to make it look feminine and that’s all. It’s as if phone manufacturers think that all girls like the color...

Overall, the HTC Rhyme is a nice handset. Aside from the colour, it doesn't really do enough to stand out in a crowded smartphone market, but if you like the styling, and can find a good deal, then it's well worth a second look. HTC Rhyme...

The Rhyme is the kind of high quality midrange handset we've got very used to seeing from HTC, distinguished by its distinctive look and bundled set of accessories. It's a pity about the poor quality headphones, especially since they match the...

HTC has produced yet another impressive smartphone that delivers in all areas. The handset performed beyond our expectations and the extra accessories are the icing on the cake. Not having Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich right away is a relatively...

Out of the box the Rhyme conforms to the classic HTC look with an oblong but curvy shape, wide front speaker and a set of four buttons below the screen. We like the HTC look but the difference here is the colour. Most of HTC's phones come in black,...

HTC has tagged the Rhyme with an MRP of Rs.29,999, but you can find it in shops for Rs.27,500 or maybe even a bit less online. The problem is that, it’s arrived to the party a bit late, since there are more powerful phones priced above and below...
