Pros

Comfortable to hold and use, Nice screen, Great battery life, Bundled charm, dock, and earphones work well.
Perfect size for smaller hands; Gorgeous plum color; zippy performance; great camera with surprisingly good macro; includes some of the best headphones I’ve ever seen come with any mobile phone; the cradle is a handy accessory for desk or bedside us
Excellent formfactor, fun and unique accessories included in the box – plus more available, HTC Sense widgets enhances the Android experience.
Elegant design with soft-touch back, Streamlined Sense interface, Innovative accessories, Useful bundled apps
As usual from HTC, excellent hardware design; crisp Super-LCD display; additional camera features on top of great camera quality; Sense UI; included accessories are high-quality and useful; fast processor.
The HTC Rhyme boasts a beautiful, compact design. The Android Gingerbread smartphone comes bundled with a number of accessories, including a handy desktop dock.

Cons

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
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 like items that have their own personality and that aren’t similar to every one else’s, but lately it seems like all of the HTC phones that I have been posting about have been basically the same phone — albeit with different features...

The Rhyme is another excellent release from HTC, and a win for anyone looking to avoid the little black boxes that most other manufacturers are releasing. The bundled speaker dock is definitely worth taking a look at,...

Last week we took a quick look at the HTC Rhyme it’s got a strong, unibody design and comes with a headset, docking station and a charm device that will flash when you have a text or incoming call. The battery cover doubles as the antenna and the...
