Verizon and HTC have a new trick up their sleeve, targeted at the female demographic interested in joining the Android revolution. Introducing the HTC Bliss, a Verizon Android smartphone aimed at women in their 20s and 30s. What exactly makes the HTC Bliss the best smartphone a woman can buy?
According to thisismynext, the tech outfit responsible for leaking the first iPhone 5 render, the HTC Bliss features a greenish-gray rubber back, a color and texture Verizon’s focus groups found very compelling to female users. The device itself will be “about a half centimeter thinner than the Desire Z”, but will not feature a front-facing camera, only a rear-facing shooter.
At the software level, the HTC Bliss will feature applications for shopping, calorie counting and pretty much every other stereotypic function you’d expect “women” to enjoy. The apps will be coupled with “calming” device wallpaper which for now, may or may not be Sense related.
Other tidbits include an array of accessories: a charm indicator, wireless charging dock with built-in speakers, a matching Bluetooth headset and in-car square-shaped speakers that attach to a car visor and support voice recognition. The most interesting accessory is the charm indicator. The charm hooks to the Bliss like your traditional mobile accessory, but adds a twist — it lights up to indicate a new message or missed call. The actual design and concept was designed around a problem many women encounter as they search through a deep purse trying to find their phone — the charm indicator solves this.
