HTC Magic myTouch 3G Red, Factory Refurbished, T-Mobile GSM unlocked
Factory refurbished HTC Magic, the T-Mobile myTouch 3G, in red and GSM unlocked. Red was one of T-Mobile's launch colors for the myTouch and is the one collectors ask for after black, and refurbished grading gives display and prop buyers a clean, working unit. The phone has no US network service today.
The HTC Magic, sold by T-Mobile US as the myTouch 3G from August 2009, is the second Android phone and the first without a hardware keyboard: a 3.2-inch 320 x 480 touchscreen, a trackball, a 528 MHz Qualcomm MSM7200A, 192 MB of RAM, a 3.2 MP camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, a microSD slot, and quad-band GSM with UMTS 3G on T-Mobile's 1700/2100 MHz AWS band. It launched on Android 1.5 and reached 2.2, and T-Mobile sold it in several colors plus a brown Fender edition.
TG Wireless sells the myTouch 3G to collectors of early Android hardware, prop and display buyers, and exporters with live GSM 3G markets.

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/3G phone with UMTS on the 1700/2100 MHz AWS band only; '4G' in some names is a store label, not LTE. US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile shut down 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so this phone, with no LTE or VoLTE, gets no service on any US carrier. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to markets with live GSM and UMTS service, collectors, props, parts, and Wi-Fi-only use.
Resale fit
- Collectors and museums wanting the second Android phone and its color variants.
- Film and TV props for 2009 to 2012 settings.
- Export to GSM markets where a working touchscreen Android still sells.
- Parts and display units.
