HTC might not be officially saying it, but the Taiwanese company has just announced the release of an Android phone that is clearly marketed at women, or more specifically, teenage girls. The HTC Rhyme is a compact, purple Android phone with a 3.7in touchscreen, mid-range specifications and an optional accessory that most will cringe at: a "charm" that glows when you receive a call or text message.
The most prominent specifications include: 1GHz Scorpion processor, Adreno 205 GPU, and a Qualcomm MSM8255 chipset, 768 MB RAM, 4GB internal storage, and HTC Sense UI 3.5.
The design of the HTC Rhyme is a candy-bar style without a QWERTY keyboard. The touch-screen display is 3.7 inches large and has a 252 pixel per inch density (quite impressive)! The color is a somewhat off-purple metallic color. Additionally, there are four touch buttons at the bottom of the display, which is common with many Android smartphones.
Overall, the HTC Rhyme looks to have many common features you would expect to find in a new Android device, but it does not really have anything special over the current phones out there. This would be a great cell phone to get in a one or two year contract as you can probably save some money on the price. The HTC Rhyme release date is expected to some time in October.
