HTC takes a more targeted approach to smartphone users with the Rhyme, a new Android device for Verizon Wireless's network. It ships with some nice extras in the box — including a dock and pulse-in-the-dark charm — but what's really charming about the Rhyme is the attention to the software details. See what HTC gets right and what it gets wrong.
