HTC Rhyme 4 GB Purple, Factory Refurbished, Verizon / Page Plus CDMA
Factory refurbished HTC Rhyme in purple, the plum finish the model launched in, with 3G, Wi-Fi, a 5-megapixel camera, 1 GHz processor, 4GB of internal storage, and a 3.7 touchscreen running Google Android, built for Verizon and Page Plus. It is a CDMA phone with no live US network, so the buyer here is a collector shop or prop house that wants the distinctive purple Rhyme in reconditioned working order. The listing spells the grade 'Factory Refursbished'.
HTC built the Rhyme for Verizon in late 2011 as a design-led Android phone: a 3.7-inch WVGA Super LCD, a 1 GHz Snapdragon, 768 MB of RAM, 4 GB of internal storage with a card slot, a 5 MP camera, and Android 2.3 with HTC Sense 3.5. Its retail box was unusual, bundling a charging dock, tangle-free headphones, and the Charm, a light-up cube on a cord that signals calls from inside a bag.
TG Wireless sells the Rhyme to collectors and prop houses that want the plum-colored unit and its accessories, and to parts dealers who service the model.

Condition: Factory Refurbished
Factory refurbished units have been reconditioned to close-to-new working order. They are not brand new and may show light signs of handling. TG tests and grades each unit before it ships. Tell your account manager whether you need units with the original box and accessories or handset-only packs; the mix varies by lot.
Network and compatibility
The HTC Rhyme is a CDMA handset built for Verizon's 1x and EV-DO network, with no GSM radio, no LTE, and no VoLTE. Verizon retired CDMA at the end of 2022 and US 3G is gone on every carrier, so the phone cannot be activated on any US network today, and the CDMA-only radio rules out most export use. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are collectors, props, parts, display units, and Wi-Fi or offline use where supported.
Resale fit
- Collectors and retro-tech sellers who stock working carrier handsets from the period.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need a period-correct carrier phone.
- Repair shops and parts dealers that need donor housings, boards, and keypads.
