Huawei U8100 Black 3G WI-FI Android 2.1 Touchscreen, New, GSM unlocked
The black version of the Huawei U8100 3G WI-FI Android 2.1 Touchscreen is listed here, brand new and GSM unlocked, with a 2.8-inch QVGA display, a 3.2 MP camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, and a 16 GB microSD slot. Black was the standard retail finish, so it matches period photos and prop requirements. Exporters to GSM markets and buyers of sealed early Android hardware take this unit by the case.
The Huawei U8100 is a 2010 entry-level Android smartphone: a 2.8-inch 240 x 320 QVGA touchscreen, Android 2.1 Eclair, a 3.2 MP camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS with A-GPS, a 1,150 mAh battery, 180 MB of usable internal memory, and a microSD slot rated to 16 GB. Its 3G radio works on UMTS 1700/2100 (AWS) with quad-band GSM behind it, which marked it as a phone built for AWS carriers such as Wind Mobile in Canada and T-Mobile USA.
Today it comes to TG Wireless buyers as a sealed early-Android collectible, an export handset for GSM/UMTS markets, and a Wi-Fi-only device for props, displays, and parts.

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. Listed with the original battery, battery door, charger, data cable, headset, and retail box per the source; confirm packaging with your account manager.
Network and compatibility
With GSM and AWS-band UMTS only, and no LTE or VoLTE, the U8100 has no path to service on US carriers: 3G was retired in 2022 and T-Mobile's 2G GSM network closed on August 3, 2026. Its realistic uses are export to markets where GSM or UMTS 1700/2100 service is still live, Wi-Fi-only use as an Android 2.1 device for props and displays, collectors of early Android hardware, and parts. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table.
