HTC has unveiled a new Android smartphone today and to be honest, it’s a snoozer. The phone is called the HTC Rhyme and it will be heading to Verizon on September 29. The smartphone has a purple color and appears to be targeting the ladies out there based on the color-matched accessories. The color is actually called metallic plum, but I know sparkly purple when I see it. Prince would be all up on this smartphone.

It has a charm thingy that glows when a call comes in and to give a visual indication of a call if the phone is on mute. Other accessories that come with the smartphone include a sports armband to secure the phone for workouts and a Bluetooth headset that is the same color as the phone. On the hardware, side things are basic.

  1. this is beyond stupidity from HTC’s behalf:
    1/ whats lady about this? just an arranged of colors?
    2/this phone lacks fierceness: a factor that modern women look for…”diva”
     the phone lacks features and is a weaker, downgrade compared to other phones.
     is HTC trying to imply some weakness in gender here?
    3/ women now a day, look for reliance: this phone lacks power, lustrous screen display, and multitasking capable=better RAM, better CORE processing, better CPU, better CAMERA
