HTC Rhyme to Be Street Name for the HTC Bliss

This image has no alt text

While Bliss seemed like a pretty spot-on name for an Android smartphone tailored to women, a new promotional shot of the device reveals that it will go by the name HTC Rhyme in some if not all regions. When the Rhyme name first surfaced the popular opinion was that the brand would be associated with a Beats Audio handset, but it remains unclear if the artist formerly known as Bliss will sport the audio technology.

The phone pictured alongside the HTC Rhyme tag lacks the familiar green hue of the Bliss, but is the same handset nonetheless. Perhaps the Rhyme becomes the international version with less focus placed on female users. Perhaps we still see an HTC Bliss as a Verizon version of the phone. We may know soon enough, as HTC is set to unveil some new toys next week at a media event in NYC.

The HTC Rhyme (ADR6330VW) received it’s DLNA certification over the weekend. We have little-to-no information on this device other than its name and that it’s coming as soon as September 29th. Thanks to a recently leaked MAP what we do know is that it will will carry a $200 price sticker and be released on Verizon. Seeing how HTC recently formed a partnership with Beats, we’re guessing this will be a device bundled with a Beats by Dre headset (Dre not included).

New Trademarks Reveal HTC Enamor and Rhyme

HTC is about to bust a rhyme. And by bust a rhyme we really mean bust out a handset dubbed the HTC Rhyme, or so suggests a newly uncovered trademark filing. Also revealed in the filing is the HTC Enamor. The trademark applications cover both smartphones and tablets and their hardware and software, leaving things a bit murky as to what each name could eventually refer to. The Rhyme name conjures up a relationship to the recent acquisition of Beats by Dre, and seems fit for a mid-range device focused more on style than function. Enamor seems more in line with high-end offerings such as the Desire and Sensation. But that is mere speculation.
