LG GS290 Cookie Fresh Silver Touchscreen Smartphone, Factory Refurbished, GSM unlocked
Take this as the Silver LG GS290 Cookie Fresh Touchscreen Smartphone in Factory Refurbished condition, GSM Unlocked. Reconditioned units give export dealers and prop houses a tested touchscreen handset below the new-unit price, where cosmetics matter less than a working screen. Packaging for refurbished lots varies, so ask your account manager what ships with it.
The LG GS290 Cookie Fresh is a 2010 touchscreen feature phone: a 3.0-inch 240 x 400 resistive screen with auto-rotate, a 2 MP camera, FM radio, an MP3 player with a 3.5 mm jack, a microSD slot, Bluetooth, and LG's widget home screen with a Facebook client and LiveSquare contact avatars. The listing calls it a smartphone, but it runs LG's own feature-phone software, not Android. It is a quad-band 2G GSM phone with EDGE data and no 3G.
TG Wireless sells it in six colors to exporters serving live 2G GSM markets, to prop and display buyers who want a 2010-era touchscreen, and to collectors of LG's Cookie line.

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 Cookie Fresh is a 2G GSM phone with EDGE data and no 3G or LTE radio. All three US national carriers retired 3G in 2022 and T-Mobile shut down 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so the GS290 will not get voice or data service on any US carrier today. Lock state is per listing; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are export to markets where 2G GSM is still live, collector and enthusiast sales, props and display fixtures, and offline use of the music player and FM radio.
Resale fit
- Export to Africa, South Asia, and Latin America, where 2G GSM service remains live and a boxed touchscreen handset sells at a feature-phone price.
- Film, TV, and theater prop departments that need a 2010-era touchscreen phone in a specific color.
- Collector and enthusiast shops that follow LG's Cookie line.
- Display fixtures and offline music-player use where cellular service is not required.
