Samsung Highlight T749 Ice Blue 3G, New, T-Mobile branded
Ice Blue is the color on this new, boxed Samsung Highlight T749, T-Mobile's 3G touchscreen feature phone with a 3 MP camera and a landscape virtual keyboard. Collectors of late-2000s touch phones and prop houses dressing a 2009 scene want the Ice Blue Highlight specifically, since it was the signature color at launch.
The Samsung Highlight, model SGH-T749, is T-Mobile's 2009 touchscreen feature phone: a 3-inch touchscreen with auto-rotation and a landscape virtual QWERTY keyboard, a 3 MP camera with video capture, a music player, a microSD slot for cards up to 16 GB, and built-in email, instant messaging, and multimedia messaging, with 3G data on T-Mobile's bands. It was sold in Ice Blue and other colors through T-Mobile and its prepaid partners.
TG Wireless sells the Highlight new and boxed to collectors and prop houses that want a late-2000s touch feature phone, to exporters where UMTS service is still live on compatible bands, and to display buyers.

Condition: New
Brand new units in the original box with the original in-box accessories as listed. Nothing has been activated or reconditioned. If your channel needs sealed retail packaging rather than open-box new, say so when you request a quote so the account manager can confirm how the lot is packed.
Network and compatibility
The SGH-T749 is a 2G GSM and 3G UMTS phone with no LTE and no VoLTE. US 3G networks closed in 2022 and T-Mobile's 2G GSM network closed on August 3, 2026, so it gets no US carrier service today. It is T-Mobile-branded and the lock state is not stated; see the network status line in the table and confirm with your account manager. Abroad it works on live GSM networks and on UMTS networks using the AWS bands.
Resale fit
- Collectors and prop houses that want a sealed 2009 T-Mobile touchscreen feature phone.
