Description
HTC Magic myTouch 3G Red 1700/2100, Factory Refurbished, T-Mobile branded, unlocked
Factory refurbished HTC Magic in the T-Mobile myTouch 3G Red finish, listed as HTC Magic Mytouch 3G Red 4G 1700/2100 Cell Phones, T-Mobile branded and GSM unlocked. Reconditioned to close-to-new working order, not brand new, and tested by TG before it ships. Red was a T-Mobile-exclusive color for this model, which gives it extra pull with collectors and prop departments.
The T-Mobile myTouch 3G is the US version of the HTC Magic, the second Android phone ever sold and the first without a hardware keyboard. Released in 2009, it has a 3.2-inch 480 x 320 touchscreen, a 3.2 MP camera, GPS with Google Maps, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, a microSD slot for cards up to 32 GB, and a 1,340 mAh battery, running early Android with the Android Market. Its 3G radio uses T-Mobile's 1700/2100 MHz AWS band over quad-band GSM; there is no LTE despite the '4G' in the product name.
TG Wireless offers the myTouch 3G to collector shops, prop houses, and exporters serving live-GSM markets. It is not a US activation phone.

Condition: Factory Refurbished
Factory refurbished units have been reconditioned to close-to-new working order. They are not brand new and may show light signs of handling. TG tests and grades each unit before it ships. Tell your account manager whether you need units with the original box and accessories or handset-only packs; the mix varies by lot.
Network and compatibility
The myTouch 3G is a 2G GSM and 3G UMTS phone on the 1700/2100 MHz AWS band and has no LTE; the '4G' in the product name is wrong. US carriers retired 3G in 2022, T-Mobile closed its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, and a phone without LTE and VoLTE gets no US service today. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are collector and prop sales, Wi-Fi-only use as an early Android reference, and export where GSM or AWS UMTS is live.
Resale fit
- Collector and retro-tech shops, where the HTC Magic and myTouch 3G are early Android milestones.
- Film, TV, and theater prop houses that need period-correct working Android phones from 2009 to 2011.
- Wi-Fi-only use by developers, educators, and museums as an early Android reference device.
- Export to Latin American markets where GSM or AWS-band UMTS service remains live.
