Sharper Image Selling Their Own Pocket PC?

"Upgrade your 'locked' SIM-card Smartphone to a Sharper Image® "Unlocked" PocketPC Executive Pack — without changing anything else (phone number, service provider*, current contract). Cool GSM phone features a 240x320 TFT touch screen with 65K colors; 2MP camera; Internet Explorer® Mobile Web browser; GPS software with built-in receiver; text messaging; Bluetooth® 2.0; mini-Bluetooth headset; PDF viewer; voice recording; stylus and more."
Nope, I'm not kidding -- Sharper Image sells their own branded Pocket PC now, and unlocked at that. 8O I'm guessing one of the regular OEMs manufactured it for this one. Specswise, it's got WM6, a 2.8" screen, GSM/GPRS, GPS, 128MB of "memory" (whatever that means) and a usual complement of software. Somewhat strangely, it's triband (which bands!?) with nary a mention of EDGE (although there's an "E" on the screen). A Bluetooth headset is included in the package, and it can be yours for $500. At that, it's little overpriced, IMHO. What do you guys think?
