Ugh, going with Android is one thing, but even among Android phones, the Rezound was like the most gimmicky, flash-in-the-pan, gotta-sell-something-for-the-holidays phone ever. It's very much last year's model for this year's price, and last year's HTCs weren't even that great. Even just among HTCs, the HTC One series already feels like two years newer — much better build quality, less obtrusive Sense, and Android 4.0. The Rezound feels like, well, the iPhone 3G to the One's iPhone 4.

The Rhyme (Verizon's other holiday HTC) at least came with a more unique form factor and accessories. The Rezound is just...well, it's a warmed-over Sensation, which is in turn a warmed-over Evo. It's very much the last "hurrah" of their previous-generation, circa-2010 design language.

But it has Beats Audio. So.
