Wifey thinking about Rhyme... Your thoughts?

My wife is due for an upgrade soon. She currently has an Ally and can't stand the limited space on it for apps.
She really likes look and feel of the Rhyme. I tend to favor HTC devices over other manufacturers but I am a techy geek - she is not.
Looking for some real-life pros and cons on it now that it has been out for a month.

Thanks!
 
My situation is the same as the OP. I like cutting edge, my wife likes simple. My wife can't name and cons (she's sitting beside me as I type). Pros, she say it's size. She came from an Incredible and was reluctant to leave it.

Sorry for lack of details but like I said, she's no techy and really couldn't care less.

My bigesst issue that may be a deal breaker for my wife would be the lack of a physical keyboard. I thought this would be an issue for me also (I came from a line of Moto Q's and a TP2) until by boss got me a Moto Atrix for my work phone. After learning to live without a physical keyboard on my work phone, I found myself between a rock and a hard place when the screen on my personal TP2 died. Without insurance on it (out of warranty)and still 5 months away from an upgrade, I bought a DINC on eBay. My wife currently has a LG Ally (her 1st smartphone - before that it was various LG enV / Voyager derivitaves).
I think I will upgrade 1st to a Rezound and let her use the DINC for a few weeks to see if she can live w/o the physical keyboard. If she can then she will probably end up with the Rhyme. If she can't it looks like it may be a Sammy Stratosphere for her.

My wife loves her rhyme. I enjoy it too, it is a nice phone regardless of gender. She could care less about getting the top notch phone, me I care. She has no complaints, it takes good fast pics, great size, she loves sense, she lives the color. She enjoys the jewel. Memory is not an issue. Speed is not an issue, its fast enough. I would recommend it for anyone that is not a tech geek.she came from a fascinate, fully rooted, over clocked and customized to hell. She still prefers the rhyme in every way.
