Colour is a rarity when it comes to HTC handsets, but there's always an exception to every rule. In HTC's case, the black sheep of its smartphone family is the HTC Rhyme, a metallic handset in a plum colour that's definitely not on our Pantone chart. I...

The HTC Rhyme is one of the latest smartphones to hit the market, and unlike the majority of other handsets, the Rhyme has been launched specifically with girls in mind. It offers decent styling and a solid feature set, but is it enough to tempt people...
The purple styling on the HTC Rhyme won't suit everybody, but then again it's not designed to. Instead, it's targeted at women, with that distinctive colour and an accompanying charm that lights up when the phone rings or notifications come through. The idea of targeting a specific sex is not a new one, and it's usually quite controversial. At least HTC has avoided the typical pink casing, howeve...
The HTC Rhyme features a uni-body design, and although quality is impressive, there is a large downside. You won't be able to remove the battery yourself, so there's no option for swapping to a second battery. Battery life is also pretty average, making this more obvious.
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 review is ta...

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 handset...

We really wanted to love the Rhyme. Even though HTC doesn’t want to admit that it has targeted women, we liked the way they had done so! It has a good design and excellent battery life. The phone is reasonably fast in use, the Sense 3.5 is a great U...

It's easy to admire the assortment of accessories HTC has bundled with the Rhyme. The Charm is a neat gimmick, and provides a point of difference that will appeal to some, but it's the dock that's the real winner. And while the absence of Gorilla Glass is...

HTC is keen to point out that the HTC Rhyme is not solely aimed at women, but it’s definitely not as masculine as its Evo 3D and Titan siblings. It feels solid and serious, but it’s also got a cutesy feel to it. Given the HTC Rhyme is going to have a f...

Firstly I would like to say well done to HTC for realising there is a gap in the market for a phone designed with women in mind. Also they deserve credit for including the premium accessories in the box. This is something that they are actually doing mor...
