We enjoyed the Rezound because of the display and the phone's overall performance, but you have to be a fan of Sense -- and tolerate the lackluster battery -- in order to place it above the Galaxy Nexus on the wish list.

Conclusion: We like it
With its ultra-sharp HD display and Beats-enhanced audio, the HTC Rezound is one of the better media phones on the market. The phone uses Verizon's fast LTE 4G network, so downloading or streaming videos should be a breeze (as long as you have a suitable data plan) and it has solid voice performance, in case you also want to use it to make calls. Since its on-contract price has come down to $199 from an earlier $299, it's now on par with other high-end smartphones, making it a good choice for Verizon customers who spend a lot of time watching videos on the go.

Updated the battery life with my third, and hopefully final, Rezound to date. This one has held its charge much better, but you still have to compromise to make it last a full day on mostly minimal use. Lower the display settings, turn off automatic updating, and definitely user WiFi when you can.

The HTC Rezound on Verizon's 4G LTE network is a nice piece of hardware, and with the scheduled 4.0 ICS upgrade due soon, it could be nice on the software front too. When compared to similarly priced phones, the Dual-Core 1.5Ghz Snapdragon Processor, 1Gb of RAM, the 4.3" 360 DPi 1280x720 HD...
