HTC Rhyme Android smartphone and accessories

The HTC Rhyme (a.k.a. HTC Bliss) is now official. The Rhyme is a 3.7-inch, 480 x 800 resolution, Android smartphone with a 1GHz single-core processor. The HTC Rhyme will be landing on Verizon, for $199, by the end of the month sporting an elegant, and undeniably female friendly, purple tone. It should also reach European and Asian shores in October and perhaps also adopt champagne and teal color looks.

The smartphone will be shipping with HTC’s new Sense 3.5 UI and Android Gingerbread, have a 5-megapixel back and VGA front-facing cameras, 768MB of RAM and 1GB of available built-in storage. HTC is also launching a series of matching accessories: Purple earphones and Bluetooth headset, a white car speaker and a “charm cable” which glows in purple on incoming calls and messages so you can be alerted discretely. There will also be a docking station which can charge your phone while tuning it into a bedside alarm or music center.

Check out more photos and video after the break.

Sense 3.5 UI running on HTC Bliss

We first caught glimpse of screenshots of HTC’s update to its Sense UI, version 3.5, claimed to be running on an HTC Bliss. Well what’s next; a video of course, displaying a set of well manicured hands showing you around the new user interface. We still remain very skeptical however whether this is indeed Sense 3.5, as this seems a step back from the more comprehensive, better polished and less cluttered 3.0 we know and love. If it was our guess we’d still say that this looks more like an HTC Bliss or Asia specific skin rather than the new UI.

In any case, you can judge for yourselves, video is just after the break after all.

HTC Sense 3.5 on HTC Bliss

The story goes like this, XDA.cn got it’s hands on the new HTC Bliss which apparently runs an updated version of HTC’s UI, Sense 3.5 beta, and they have taken a number of screenshots showing it off. We love the usability of the unlock ring in Sense 3.0 — which gives you the option of quickly launching four apps of your choice — and it seems logical that Sense 3.5 would build on top of that. Some work has been done in refining and polishing icons and widgets, the weather widget seems to now cover the whole screen.
