Description
HTC Shadow Copper Brown Wi-Fi, Factory Refurbished, T-Mobile branded, GSM unlocked
Copper brown HTC Shadow with Wi-Fi, factory refurbished, T-Mobile branded and GSM unlocked. Copper was the launch color of the 2007 Shadow and the one collectors recognize, so this unit suits enthusiast shops and prop houses; the unlock makes it usable for exporters to markets where 2G GSM still runs.
The original HTC Shadow is T-Mobile's late-2007 Windows Mobile 6 slider, designed to hide smartphone complexity behind a simple interface: a 2.6-inch LCD with a spinning scroll wheel, a 20-key slide-out keypad, a 2-megapixel camera/camcorder, Bluetooth, microSD expansion to 4 GB, built-in Wi-Fi for T-Mobile HotSpot calling, and quad-band GSM with EDGE data, with about five hours of talk time. It came in copper brown and in a sage green.
It is a 2G-only handset with no US service today. TG Wireless sells factory-refurbished, GSM-unlocked Shadow units to collector shops, prop houses, exporters to live 2G markets, and parts buyers.

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 Shadow is a quad-band 2G GSM phone with EDGE data: no 3G, no LTE, no VoLTE. T-Mobile retired its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, and the other US carriers shut 2G down earlier, so the phone has no US service. Realistic uses are export to markets where 2G GSM is still live, collector and enthusiast sales, film and TV props, display, and Wi-Fi-only use. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table.
Resale fit
- Collector and enthusiast shops stocking the original T-Mobile Shadow in copper.
