NEW YORK--HTC unveiled its latest smartphone for Verizon today, the HTC Rhyme, an Android Gingerbread device focused on style and user experience.
Known formerly by its code-name HTC Bliss, the Rhyme isn't so much about high-end specs; rather, HTC decided to design the phone on three principles: style, essential, and intuitive.

HTC created a number of accessories specifically for the Rhyme, including a docking station, tangle-free headphones, a light-emitting cell phone charm that alerts you to incoming calls, an armband, and a Bluetooth headset.
Aside from the accessories, the smartphone also runs a slightly different version of HTC Sense. The home screen has a cleaner, uncluttered layout and you can now remove home pages, if you don't need all seven.
