As soon as I saw the new Sharp T91 cell phone, I realized it couldn't be US bound—mainly because it has a 3.2 megapixel camera built into the back of its case. Plus, I was pretty sure Sharp didn't make cell phones in the US anyhow. But it any case, it's a very astute design. The phone is a clamshell, but the upper half of it actually swivels to take photos. It's also got an anti-glare TFT display with 262,000 colors and dual stereo speakers.

Sharp's other Asian offering is the WX-T71. Though only affixed with a measly 1.3 megapixel camera, this phone is more for style than function. Also a clamshell, it is 3G and has MP3 functions and stereo speakers. Comes in Black, White, Orange and Green.
