Description
Sony Ericsson W950 Walkman GSM 900/1800/1900, export lot, Quoted per lot
The Eric W950 listed here is the Sony Ericsson W950i Walkman smartphone on GSM 900/1800/1900 with UMTS 2100, offered as an export lot with grade quoted per lot; the SKU indicates purple units. Collector shops and exporters serving markets with live GSM or UMTS 2100 service are the buyers, since it has no US-usable radio.
The Sony Ericsson W950 is the 2006 Walkman smartphone built on Symbian UIQ 3: a slim candybar with a 2.6-inch touchscreen, 4 GB of built-in flash memory for music, FM radio, and no camera, aimed squarely at music playback. It runs on GSM 900/1800/1900 with UMTS 2100 for 3G, the European and Asian configuration, and the SKU here identifies a purple unit.
None of its radios survive on US networks, so the W950 is an export and collector item. TG Wireless supplies it to exporters serving markets where GSM or UMTS 2100 still operates, to collector shops that specialize in Symbian and Walkman hardware, and to prop buyers.

Condition: Quoted per lot
TG Wireless offers this model in the grades available at the time of your inquiry, which can include new, A+ Grade, A Grade, and B Grade. Every quote states the grade, the storage, and the color mix. Ask the account manager for packaging status (original box, accessories, or handset only) and for the activation-lock and carrier-status checks TG performs on used units before they ship.
Network and compatibility
The W950 covers GSM 900/1800/1900 and UMTS 2100, which means no US 3G support even before the 2022 shutdown and only the 1900 band for 2G, which T-Mobile retired on August 3, 2026. It has no LTE and will not get US service. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Export to markets with live GSM 900/1800 or UMTS 2100, collectors, props, and offline Walkman use are the realistic outlets.
Resale fit
- Export to markets where GSM 900/1800 or UMTS 2100 networks remain in service.
- Collector shops focused on Symbian UIQ and Walkman-era devices.
- Prop houses and display units for 2006-era mobile design.
