HTC Status (ChaCha) Purple 3G Wi-Fi 5 MP QWERTY Android Facebook Phone, New, GSM unlocked
Brand new, this HTC Status Chacha Purple 3G WI-FI 5-megapixel Touchscreen Qwerty Keyboard Android Facebook Phone AT&T GSM Unlocked unit is the mauve light purple Status, unlocked for GSM networks. New purple units are the collector's pick for this model, and export dealers take sealed stock for GSM/UMTS markets where keyboard Androids still sell.
The HTC Status, sold internationally as the HTC ChaCha, is a 2011 Android phone built around a full QWERTY keyboard and a dedicated Facebook share button that lights up when there is something to post. An AT&T exclusive in the US, it has a 2.6-inch touchscreen, an 800 MHz processor, a 5-megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash, a VGA front camera, Wi-Fi N with mobile hotspot, Bluetooth 3.0, microSD expansion to 32 GB with a 2 GB card included and up to 6.5 hours of talk time on AT&T's HSPA 3G network. Dealers buy the Status from TG Wireless for collectors of unusual Android designs, props, and export, as a 3G-only phone has no US service.

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
The Status is a 3G HSPA and 2G GSM phone with no LTE or VoLTE. US carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile ended 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so it has no US cellular service, although Wi-Fi still works for apps and browsing. The source describes it as AT&T GSM unlocked; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to GSM/UMTS markets, collectors of keyboard Androids, props, and Wi-Fi-only use.
Resale fit
- Collectors of QWERTY Android phones and Facebook-era hardware.
- Film, TV, and display props from 2011.
- Export to GSM/UMTS markets and Wi-Fi-only use.
