![]() ![]() HTC might have been aware of that too and did well to get rid of black elements in the interface graphics. Our biggest gripe is the rather low contrast. And while you won’t get to enjoy any AMOLED blacks, it's a decent viewing experience. The Rhyme comes with a 3.7” S-LCD screen. One accommodates the camera lens and LED flash, the other is the battery cover. Two bits of soft-touch rubbery plastic complete the design of the rear panel. But this may as well be irrelevant for the targeted demographic. The downside is the battery is non-user-replaceable. Otherwise, it's the much appreciated unibody design with the anodized metal front frame extending around the back. Our review unit came in the Clearwater variety - essentially, some pastel hues of blue. We obviously don't have the purple version, which isn't exactly gender-neutral. The design has been recycled but the HTC Rhyme is undoubtedly a good-looking phone. It's basically a Desire S - or an HTC Radar. The HTC Rhyme measures 116.8 x 61 x 10.1 mm and weighs 130.7 g. HTC offer a Bluetooth headset and an in-car Bluetooth speaker. There are other accessories too that are sold separately. The Charm isn't compatible with other HTC phones - we tried it on the HTC Explorer and it thought it detected a headset. It's got an extra strong cloth-covered cord and the jack has a little bracket that fixes it firmly so the phone can actually be pulled out of the purse by the cable. Upon an incoming message or call, the Charm cube flashes intermittently. It's basically an external status LED for women to hang off their purse. The Charm cube plugs in the 3.5mm jack and comes with a 50cm-long cable. The bottom has an anti-slip rubbery finish. It's upholstered like a piece of furniture and the color of the cloth matches that of the handset. The dock also has integrated Bluetooth speakers, turning it into a small but impressively loud stereo system. It has a clock, a weather widget, virtual music controls and a shortcut to the gallery slideshow. When the phone is placed in the docking station, it automatically launches the Dock Mode app. The cradle will charge the phone and serve as a music center or a nightstand clock. To make up for that, HTC have put a class 4 microSD card in the box with another 4GB worth of storage.įinally, you'll find a white leather pouch, the so-called Charm and a docking station (133 g). The HTC Rhyme has 4GB of internal storage, but less the one gig of it is actually user-accessible. We loved the sound of it too, rich with plenty of bass. The cable is a flat tape kind rather than normal wire - and yes, it is tangle-free. To begin with, there's a uniquely designed in-ear headset with music controls. The rest is all custom-made for the HTC Rhyme. The only standard accessories are the power plug and microUSB cable. The HTC Rhyme comes in a big box filled with goodies. ![]()
