HTC Desire 3G Wi-Fi 5-megapixel 1GHz 3.7" AMOLED Qhd Touchscreen Android, New, GSM unlocked
Brand new HTC Desire, the 3G Wi-Fi 5-megapixel 1 GHz 3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen Android phone, GSM unlocked. A sealed 2010 Desire is a collector purchase first, and dealers who serve vintage-Android buyers or need new-condition units for display and prop work are the fit, along with exporters placing unlocked 3G handsets abroad.
The original HTC Desire is HTC's 2010 Android flagship: a 3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen, a 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon, 576 MB of RAM, a 5 MP autofocus camera with LED flash, Wi-Fi, GPS, an optical trackpad, and HTC Sense on Android 2.1, later updated to 2.2. It was the unlocked twin of the Nexus One and sold in GSM form worldwide, with a CDMA version for US Cellular and other regional carriers.
TG Wireless sells the Desire to collectors who want a landmark early Android, to exporters with live 3G markets, and to prop and parts 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
US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile shut down its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, so this phone, which has no LTE or VoLTE, gets no voice or data service on any US carrier. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to markets where GSM and UMTS service is still live, collectors, film and TV props, parts and display units, and Wi-Fi-only use where the device supports it.
Resale fit
- Collectors of first-generation Android flagships.
- Export to markets where GSM and UMTS 3G service continues.
- Film and TV props for 2010 to 2013 settings.
