Many of us know The Sharper Image best as a purveyor of massaging lounge chairs (which makes their stores a must-stop location in the mall), a chronic pusher of ozone generators, and as a perennial favorite in SkyMall catalogs as we bide our day on the redeye. What we don’t know The Sharper Image for, though, is its broad selection of no-name phones procured from Chinese manufacturers. We just happened to be flipping through TSI’s latest catalog today and came across these four little gems, three with “The Sharper Image” proudly emblazoned across their faces. The pack includes a touchscreen equipped Chocolate knockoff (very 2006, but still quite strapping), a branded version of the AMOI N810 Windows Mobile 6 Professional device, a black

slider that looks like death incarnated, and an ultra-generic silver clamshell that looks straight out of the early part of that decade. The good news is that they’re all unlocked and range from a very fair $169.95 to $499.95; the poor news, however, is that you may have to keep your thumb by the TSI logo to keep the public mockery to a minimum.
