The HTC Rhyme

The HTC Rhyme is something of a delicate matter, as it is HTC's firstphone that is said to have been designed with a female audience in mind. Yet it comes in dull colours and looks quite a lot like every other HTC handset we’ve seen so far.

LG Revolution Release Date Apparently Confirmed for May 26

Verizon has launched so far two 4G LTE Android smartphones, the HTC Thunderbolt and the Samsung Droid Charge, and both handsets were more or less delayed before launch. The LG Revolution is going to be the last LTE handset to hit Verizon stores for a long while, considering that the Motorola Droid Bionic is being redesigned and there’s no estimated ship date for it. And the LG Revolution, which we were impressed with since CES 2011 where we took it for a hands-on preview, is apparently getting...
