HTC Rhyme
New Android phone from HTC, targetted primarily at women, was announced yesterday.
I like the look of this - decent specs and a range of useful accessories: http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/htc-rhyme/ |

Also called the Bliss. Uses Sense 3.5
There is a ROM for Desire S, Desire Z, Desire HD which includes Sense 3.5 on the XDA dev website,. I have installed in on a Desire S it but I prefer Sense 3 so reverted back to another custom ROM. |

Yeah, I've been looking for a replacement for my Hero, which is getting on a bit now. I've updated to Froyo, but 2.2 is about as far as it goes with stable ROMs and it struggles to run most games now. I think this new phone would be a good mid-priced replacement.

I wish HTC would start releasing Android phones with at least 16GB storage.
I've had two HTC phones, both of which I'm forever uninstalling new apps or trying to move them to the SD Card because there's not enough internal storage. |

I really like the look of that phone - but I am only in the 7th month of my desire contract with Vodafone.

![]() I was just impressed by the accessories - armband for use in the gym, Bluetooth headset or speaker for the car, and the little dock that turns it into an alarm clock! |

I know they all claim it, but O2 said on Twitter they're getting an exclusive. It's probably only for a limited time though.

Looks nice, but waiting for the HTC Runnymede or Bass as it looks like it's been renamed. Great specs.

Im not to sure.
Darren There is an official HTC leaked Desire S ROM with Sense 3.0 on the XDA Developers website. If its leaked, it may mean an OTA update from HTC is on the cards in the future. |

That is going to sound almost hysterically bad. Anyone who genuinely thinks that the Beats audio is any good is only interesting in wuffly loose bass. The sound is diabolical, its purely a marketing machine.
Anyway, the reviews I've seen on Youtube all say its great, so I'll reserve judgement until I've heard it. |

Why not just move some to the SD card. Any version of Android from 2.2 onward should have the ability to do that. I've got a tiny amount of memory in my Hero so I just move stuff to card. It's very rare that I'm running so many apps at the same time that there isn't space for them all in internal.

Not that bothered about the Beats Audio, it's the rest of the specs that are interesting. I think you'll find the Beats will be added to all new phones in the future as they have paid a fortune for it.
