The Rhyme is a dead platform for rooting. Time to move on.
As a 'girl' phone, unfortunately it's just not gonna get good dev treatment. I hoped it would get some love, but it just didn't happen.
It's 3G, old, and outdated. From a development standpoint, it just doesn't make sense.
The Incredible 4G is the next logical step. The form factor is similar, and has good dev support. Time to upgrade...
