Great Little Phone!

Phone owned for less than 3 months

First of all, I would like to say that I really wasn't planning on getting a phone like this considering I am a guy and it's purple. But since my HTC Incredible 2's antenna broke, I didn't have a choice but to use my cousins old phone. But I did get a case so you can't really tell that it is purple.

Surprisingly, I think that the phone has way better built quality and a better screen than the HTC Incredible 2. It is made out of metal, glass, and some soft touch rubbery plastic on the back. It's super comfortable in the hands.

I do wish this phone did have 4G LTE but it was before it's time.

The camera on the phone is pretty AMAZING considering that it is only a 5mp shooter. The camera has many different effects and shooting modes and even shoots in 720P HD video. The front facing camera isn't that great but you can still see details unlike my Incredible 2.

The UI of the phone has changed from the original Sense UI. The bottom bar is now customized for the Rhyme and has 2 buttons instead of a bar with 3 buttons on it. The personalize button is missing. But the rest of the phone works great and noting has really changed for me. (In fact the lock screen is better than older HTCs).

The battery is non-removal which really sucks because on the rare occasion when the phone freezes, I can't take out the battery but I just have to wait about 3 minutes (it's only happened to me once or twice). If the battery somehow breaks on me, then I will have to buy a new phone which sucks because you can't replace the battery.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this phone. It's really good considering it is about 2 years old. In fact, it's faster than my dads iPhone 4s.
