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 you will kn...

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 pink and just wish...

Expert Review MRP: Rs 30,000Street Price (As On 3-Jan-2012): Rs 26,000 (; ; )Every smartphone in the market brags about CPUs and RAM. However, for the fairer sex all that doesn't seem to matter too much. With that in mind, HTC is out with an Android...
Comes with the Charm accessory; Sleek design; Good sound quality; Great UI customisation; Pre-loaded Mirror app.
Wi-Fi death-grip; Overpriced; Lacklustre video player; Unimpressive camera; Slightly laggy at times.

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, g...

Right from the time the Rhyme was just a rumour doing it’s rounds on the Internet (it was known as the Bliss, back then), it was categorized as a phone for the fairer sex, owing to its pastel trim and the fact that it would ship with a ‘charm’, an...
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 it, fo...

HTC Rhyme is a nice handset. Its simple design is lovely, it has enough performance to get by, and the included speaker dock is a nice addition. However, the charm accessory and headphones don’t really add much to the package, and given you do pay a sm...

Despite the positives, the Rhyme seems like an odd choice for the debut of Sense 3.5. The 1GHz processor gets the job done but it struggles when burdened with too much work. The resultant stuttering and slowdown do much to dent the otherwise positive...

It's been a long time since we last saw a phone exclusively targeted at women. Was the Nokia 6600 fold or the Samsung Diva the last ones? Well, if you remember those, you are old enough to remember old jokes how women can't park and men hate advice. W...

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.
Charm wasn't as useful as HTC hoped it would be; non-removable battery; poor HD video quality.
The Rhyme is a great smartphone and the included accessories are top-notch. Aside from the purse charm, this phone should be great for anyone who cares about style just as much as substance.HTC Rhyme Written Review by... - Image Gallery TweetBecome a...
