Browser

It's a shame the Rhyme doesn't have LTE. Despite its lack of 4G, the Rhyme offers a solid browsing experience through the stock Android browser. Verizon's EVDO 3G network is still reasonably speedy and robust. The Rhyme's browser ran into trouble a few times thanks to poor network coverage. The result was stalled web sites, though it wasn't a terribly common occurrence.

Customize

Phone Scoop has noted in the past how HTC's Sense user interface is one of the best when it comes to user customization. The Rhyme isn't any different in that regard. Sense lets users adjust about every element of the home screens, wallpapers and other behaviors of the phone.
